    de Vaugondy's important 1783 revision of his 1750 North America map shows the borders of the newly created United States and includes a new inset map of the slowly emerging northwestern quadrant of the continent.

    Gilles Robert de Vaugondy (1688–1766) was one of the leading cartographers in France during the 18th century, along with his son Didier Robert de Vaugondy. Together, they published one of the most important atlases of the 18th century, "The Atlas Universel". In this atlas, old sources were verified and corrected by integrating innovations in astronomical observations, as well as modern longitues and latitudes.
