Karte Von Luisiana, Dem Laufe Des Mississipi ... 1744

click to enlarge

A scarce German reprint of Bellin's detailed map covering all the known United States, from the Rio del Norte (extending north almost to the Missouri headwaters) to the Great Lakes and the Gulf and Atlantic coastlines. This issue of the map appeared in "Allgemeine Histoire Der Reisen Zu Wasser Und Zu Lande" 1758, the German edition of L'Abbe Prevost's encyclopaedic collection of travellers' and explorers' reports. Many Indian names are given and major routes in the Southwest are designated. This particular example has evidence of old folds but is otherwise fine.
