"Le Paraguay ou les RR. PP. de la Compagnie de Jesus ont Repandu Leurs Missions", Anville, Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'

This attractive and detailed map of the central part of South America shows Jesuit missions as well as topography, rivers, and towns. The map extends from Lake Titicaca to Sao Paulo, and to Chile and the mouth of the La Plata. The La Plata is mapped with much detail, but incorrectly with its source in a Laguna de Los Xareyes. The map is based on the cartography of D'Anville in 1733 and was first published in a Jesuit report circa 1781.
