"Cours du Fleuve Saint Louis Depuis ses Embouchures Jusqu'a la Riviere d'Iberville et Costes Voisines", Bellin, Jacques Nicolas

This is an uncommon map of the Mississippi River delta and the coastline to Mobile Bay. The map shows the course of the Mississippi up to the Iberville River, near present-day Baton Rouge, and also locates New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain, Biloxi, and more. The English Turn (Detour des Anglois) is noted south of New Orleans. Decorated with a fine compass rose, rhumb lines with fleur-de-lys, and decorative title cartouche.
