Locates Santa Fe, and shows a good map of the Illinois country, locating Kaskaskia and Chicago." Prime meridian: Paris. Relief: pictorial. An interesting note ("Bemerkung") explains that the map is not large enough to follow the curve of the river, so the area through which there are no other geographical features ("Geographisches Verhaeltniß") have been condensed, for the Mississippi as well as other wide rivers. Graphic Scale: Leagues. Projection: Cylindrical. Watermark: G I shield w. fleur-de-lis. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: MS note: 553.
