"Carte des Deux Florides et de la Louisiane Inferieure, Dressee pour les Voyages de Mr. Robin, dans les Annees 1802, 1803, 1804, 1805 et 1806", Poirson, Jean Baptiste

This uncommon map of the southern United States was issued in Claude Robin's Voyages dans l'interieur de la Louisiane. It was issued during a time of rapid political change in the region, and Robin witnessed first-hand the transfer of Louisiana from the French to the United States at both New Orleans and Nachitoches. Cartographically, Georgia extends to the Mississippi River and East and West Florida exist as separate territories. There is limited detail west of the Mississippi River with a few settlements and Indian villages noted along the river systems including Taejas, Cenis, and St. Antoine de Bexar. Engraved by Tardieu.
