• Depicts the land and coast from the Sabine to Escambia River and from the Gulf of Mexico to just north of “Fort Tombecke.”
• Lafon and Picquet’s map is notable for its accuracy and detail, capturing the complex river systems, including the Mississippi River, as well as the locations of settlements, towns, and key geographic features such as bayous, lakes, and coastal areas. The map delineates the Euro-American boundaries of the Territory of Orleans, West Florida, and adjacent areas, providing insight into the territorial divisions and administrative organization following the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
• Inclusion of West Florida and portions of the Mississippi Territory highlights the ongoing disputes and negotiations over territorial boundaries between the United States, Spain, and other colonial powers in the region. - Subject
