This map depicts a very accurate rendering of the Great Lakes for its time. Illustrations sprinkled throughout the map show Native Americans engaged in various activities including drying fish and being eaten by an alligator. Explorer reports from the Gulf of Mexico must have been consulted and mixed in with more northerly reports as we see depictions of palm trees and alligators dotted throughout the Great Lakes and into Canada.
The region, and the map, is called ‘La Louisiana’ to strengthen the claims of King Louis the 14th of France.
