This sheet includes two horizontal charts that focus on the St. Lawrence River between the mouth of the Outardes River and Quebec. The upper map gives greater detail of the portion between Baie-Saint-Pauland Quebec. Both maps give extensive navigational information, including depth soundings, rocks, shoals, anchorages, and water currents. An inset at top left shows a land approach view between Grosse Isle and Ile-aux-Ruaux. Decorated with three rococo-style cartouches and rhumb lines.
