Kashnor notes, "This is the Châtelain map, taken from DeLisle. It locates only the French forts around Hudson's Bay, and shows a correct idea of the locations of the Indian tribes west of the Great Lakes; also shows La Houton's assumed location of the great River of the West, and the western sea beyond the range of mountains." Kashnor dates as ca. 1720. See 105:431 for another version, 105:433 for an earlier version. Historical remarks replace of cartouche on 105:431 version.. Prime meridian: Ferro?. Relief: pictorial.

Kashnor notes, "Though bearing a French title and imprint, with all names of places in French, it is obviously an English map issued to show the French claims and the English boundaries as well as French encroachments." McCorkle confirms map as by Kitchin, first edition. See also 093:515M for another copy. Kashnor implies the map is by Jean Palarait, but McCorkle explains that map to be a later copy of the Kitchin map.

Kashnor notes, "One of the earliest maps to show California with a continuous coastline, and showing the tracks of St. Antoine [1710], Mandana and Quir, Tasman, and other discoverers." This is a copy of L'Isle's 1700 map (093:180) with added border art, redone cartouche, the tip of South America corrected, the Solomon Islands moved. Kashnor dates as [1720] as does Shirley. This map shows corrections from 105:245 in Siberia, but the east coast of Korea is shown in the manner of the 1700 map. Name corrections in Africa on 105:245 do not appear. Compare with 105:244M dated 1720 with a less westerly trending California peninsula and Frisland no longer shown below Greenland. Route of the Mississippi and shape of Hudson's Bay follow the 1700 map, indicating this map may have been printed before the dated 105:244M copy and before the undated 105:245.
