Description
A fine example of Janvier's map of North America to illustrate the sea of the west. "Mer ou Baye de l'Ouest", prior to the incorporation of information from Cook's Voyage.
Also, the hypothetical Alaskan archipelago theorised from the reports of Behring and Tchirakow is replaced by more conservative, although equally inaccurate, mapping of the NW Coast to the Arctic Circle.
The US is named (pre the 1783 Treaty). Numerous Indian names & early French forts shown.
Reference: Wheat 192; Wagner 559.
