Shows a significant portion of French Louisiana, focusing on the Mississippi River from its mouth to the Arkansas region. It depicts the Mobile River from its mouth to Fort Toulouse. The map serves not only as a geographic depiction but also as a strategic military and economic tool, reflecting the French colonial interests in the region. It highlights key settlements, forts, and the extensive river networks critical for transportation, trade, and defense. This map is notable for its precision in the context of 18th-century cartography and provides valuable insights into the French colonial landscape, particularly in the context of the complex waterways that were vital for the control and development of the territory. Also shows the Indigenous villages around Mobile Bay, including the Apalachee, Chacteau, and Mobiliens.
