Map of Louisiana and of the River Mississipi by John Senex

Visual Materials

Kashnor notes, "The best of the early English maps, giving particulars of the West. The Mississippi is given with all its tributaries, the Red, Arkansas and Missouri Rivers, the last-named being shown with remarkable correctness, its course reaching to the north of the Rockies, where it is stated that the Spaniards ford the river to trade with the people to the North-West for "yellow iron." The map shows New Mexico, and locates Santa Fe." Kashnor dates as [1719]. New Orleans does not appear, same as on l'Isle map of same year. See 148964 for another copy, 093:429 for an apparently later copy. Cartouche: Around dedication. Prime meridian: London. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Leagues. Projection: Cylindrical. Watermark: Small fleur-di-lis. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Other Features: Cartouche. Verso Text: MS note: 558.

Kashnor notes,"This is taken from Delisle's map. In the far north-west is engraved the Missouri passing north of the Rockies, with the inscription, 'The Indians say that near this place the Spaniards ford the river on Horse-back, going to treat with some nations lying to the northwest, whence they bring Yellow Iron, as they call it.' This gold came from California or Cariboo. A century afterwards Lewis and Clark followed the river until they could stand astride of it." Kashnor dates as [1719]. New Orleans does not appear, same as on l'Isle map of same year. See 093:558M for another copy and 093:429 for an apparently later copy. Cartouche: Around dedication.
