Each side of the map, some text gives the details of the region. This is a fascinating map that displays loads of information pertinent to early 18th century fur trappers, traders, and settlers. From the delineated limits of French Canada, just south of the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay, the map notes locations of Native American tribes, French forts (both active and abandoned), French and English villages, numerous river crossings, and other essential travel information. Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684-1743) was a parisian Huguenot pastor. His famous work is the "Atlas Historique", published in seven volumes.

This encyclopedic work explains the history and the genealogy of the continents, with the geography, cosmography, topography, heraldry, and ethnography. The text is from Nicolas Gueudeville, a French geographer.Henri Chatelain represents the golden age of French cartography.
