Item Details
Description
  • Title: 1683 Sanson Map Great Lakes to Newfoundland -- Le Canada, ou Nouvelle France, &c. Tiree de diverses Relations des Francois, Anglois, Hollandois, &c.
  • Cartographer: N Sanson
  • Year / Place: 1683 c., Paris
  • Map Dimension (in.): 8.2 X 12 in.

    This is one of the most influential seventeenth century maps of the French and English colonies in North America. It concentrates on the region of greatest French interest. The entire Great Lakes basin and the St. Lawrence River are shown in great detail. The most important aspect of the map is the first appearance of L. Erie, ou du Chat as a recognizable lake on an atlas map. This delineation influenced the cartography of the region for more than 100 years. The map is also an outstanding source for Indian tribal names and locations. Two names (Aouentsiouaeron and Attiouandarons) appear here for the first time. Lake Superior and Michigan (Lac du Puans) are left open-end to the west. Embellished with a nice title cartouche. Engraved by A. d'Winter. This is the first state, prior to the addition of a latitude and longitude grid. This is a somewhat reduced version of another Sanson map of the region.
