Description
Rare map issued to accompany Volume XI of the Nouvelle Annales des Voyages, a compilation of accounts of exploration and discovery published in Paris in the first part of the 19th Century. The map provides a detailed and accurate account of the contemporary search for the Northwest Passage, as well as an excellent up to date view of the NW Coast of America, the Canadian Rocky Mountains and conjectural tracks of the voyages of Maldonado in 1588 and Bernardo in 1640 through the Bering Straits and into the Arctic Ocean. The discoveries of Cluny, MacKenzie, Hearne, and others are noted. The map extends south to Astoria and the Columbia River watershed. A rare and excellent map of the region.
