annotates

• Depicts coast, lakes, bays and rivers from the mouth of the Mississippi River to Apalachee Bay.
• First map with French fort at 27-mile bluff on the Mobile River, labeled as "Fort et Ville de la Mobile."
• It also depicts Indigenous nations/towns of the “Tohomé” and “les Mobilens - on the Mobile River.
• It appears that the Tohomé have towns on the east and west sides of the river and the Mobiliens are between the Tohomé and the Alabama River on the east side. The towns are drawn as multiple houses, but it is not clear if each house signifies a separate grouping, a literal number of structures, or just artistic license.
• Jean-François Joubert de La Bastide, 2nd Marquis de Châteaumorand, was a French sailor who possibly accompanied D'Iberville on his 1699 expedition to the mouth of the Mississippi River.
