Description

Scarce map of North America, showing California as an island, engraved by Sorniquet, for Labat's Nouveau Voyages in 1722.

California is shown as an island on the first Sanson model. The Rio Grande River is shown flowing into the Gulf of California.

The Great Lakes are shown with an open, unknown western coastline. The Mississippi River is in a curious arcing format, pre-dating De L'Isle's most recent improvements.

Fort de Pensacothe is shown, which appears to be mislocated.
