Nice example of De Fer's map of the United States and Canada, from his Atlas
Curieux.
The course of the Mississippi is virtually due North, originating in Texas and
extending into Canada. The many rivers which feed the Mississippi are described
and often annoted, most notably the Ohio ou Bell Riviere, which starts far
south of its true origins and the Oubache River. The extend of Canada ou
Nouvelle France is extended far to the south and the size of the English
Colonies subsantially reduced, undoubtedly a political statement. Notes on
early explorations, forts, rivers and Indian Tribes abound in this marvelous
work, engraved by van Loon." ----Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps.
