"Carte de l'Amerique Septentrionale avec les Regions Polaires", Vivien de Saint Martin, Louis

An attractive French map of North America depicting the river systems, topography, and early settlements. The Provinces Confederee (states) extend as far as Michigan and Missouri with a huge Missouri Territory to the west. In the Pacific Northwest, U.S. claims extend well into present-day British Columbia reflecting U.S. interests in the region. Alaska is Amerique Russe and borders Nouveau Cornouailles (New Cornwall). Texas is unnamed and part of Mexico with only a few settlements noted including San Antonio, Matagorda, and San Saba. California and the Southwest are also under Mexican control with a few spurious rivers crossing the Great Basin into the Pacific Ocean. In the polar region, the most recent discoveries are shown including those of Franklin, Hearn and Mackenzie. Surrounded by a bold keyboard-style border.
