This densely detailed map shows provinces, towns, roads, and river systems throughout France. The map shows the country divided into 102 departments after the Treaty of Amiens in 1802, a brief period of peace between France and Britain prior to the Napoleonic wars. France gained control of Belgium and the western bank of the Rhine River, as shown on the map, however the appearance of the "British Channel" presents a British viewpoint.
