annotates

• Depicts "La Louisiane" from Great Lakes region to Gulf of Mexico with a large inset of the Gulf Coast at top of the map.
• The details for Mobile Bay in the inset differ from the larger map.
• In the inset, the villages of the "Naniaba" and "Mobiliens" are on the west side of the Mobile River between the fork of the Alabama River and the old Fort Louis. The "Tansas" are south of the fort. This is the first map to show the Taensas, who moved to the area to strengthen their relations with the French. However, most maps place their village on the east side of the Mobile River. The "Tuvachas" are just south of the "Tansas." Further south, near the mouth of the Mobile River, the "Appalaches" are just north of the "Nouveau Fort Louis." The "Chatteaux" are south of the "R. au Chien" or Dog River. The map does not identify any Choctaw villages. In the general area of the Historic Choctaw, the translated map label reads, "The Tiyou used to live here, they retired to the Bayogoula."
