An interesting map of the Americas with a focus on the lakes, rivers and mountains. Only a few cities and forts are identified, including Quebec, New Orleans, Natchitoches (on the Red River), and Fort Francois (on the Ohio River). Designed for a French school atlas, the map presents a rudimentary image of North America with no mountains in the west except a few shown in what is present-day New Mexico and Colorado. The Andean Volcanic Belt is well represented. French text at sides provides an explanation to the map.
