The Mississippi is detailed from the Iberville River north to its junction with the Yazoo (Yasous) River. The Red River is the central focus of the chart which includes details of the Black (Noire) River. This map is one of the first offering details of this region, which was important owing to its position between French-controlled Louisiana and Spanish Texas. The map locates the Adayes Presidio Espagnol de la Province de Tecas (Presidio Nuestra Seora del Pilar de los Adaes). Filled with other details including the location of the French controlled Fort Natchez, which had been destroyed by Natchez Indians. With a large inset at lower left that details the vicinity of Fort St. Jean at what became Natchitoches.
