- Shows the coastline from Secotan in Virginia to Planuco in Mexico; the interior is shown to 40 degrees of latitude north and includes lakes and rivers in the region. Sanson, considered the “Father of French cartography,” published two similar maps in 1650 and 1657 that include the towns of Achusi and Tascalusa, but is one of the first to show the Alabama River branching off the Mobile River.
