This fascinating map by Bellin details the course of the St. Lawrence River from Anticosti Island and the mouth west to beyond Quebec. Many rocks and shoals are shown in the river as well as numerous villages and forts lining the shore. The map is decorated with a rococo-style cartouche that includes a distance scale.
