    First state of two (1702) of Nicolas de Fer's early map of the eastern half of North America ( the second state dates to 1705 ). This antique copper-plate engraved map is characterized by an emphasis on French territories and discoveries. The placement of the Mississippi River is drawn hundreds of miles to the west of its actual geographic location, entering the Gulf of Mexico just above the Rio Grande River ( "Rio Bravo" ). The Louisiana Territory is identified as "la Louisianne" and notably the interior of most of the area west of the Atlantic Coast is labeled "Canada, ou Nouvelle France". The Florida Peninsula is labeled "Presque Isle de Tegeste", a name that dates back at least to 1571 when Velasco referred to the area as "Tequesta" in his "Geografia de las Indias".
    Contains detailed locations for native American tribes and villages including the Tunica, Natchez, Iroquois, Algonquin, and Sioux. Numerous French forts that existed in the Mississippi Valley region are identified including Fort du Prudhomme, Fort Sauvage, and Fort de Crevecoer. Cities that de Fer identifed include Havana, Cuba; New York, St. Augustine, Port Royal, Jamestown, Quebec, and Boston,
    This antique map was produced by the well known French geographer and cartographer, Nicolas de Fer (1646 - 1720) and was published in de Fer's atlas: "L'atlas curieux, ou Le monde réprésenté dans des cartes générales et particulières du ciel et de la terre… et orne? par des plans et descriptions des villes capitales et principales ..."
