Carte De Louisiane Et De La Floride

1780 Raynal and Bonne Map of Louisiana

A fine example of Rigobert Bonne and G. Raynal’s 1780 map of Louisiana and Florida. Map corresponds to modern day Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Louisiana. Offers considerable detail of the only tenuously explored interior, naming numerous American Indian tribes and villages including Apalachiola, Echicachae, Chaccoumas, Acansas, and many others. Of the colonies, only Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina are evident. An inset in the lower left quadrant focuses on the upper Missouri River, which was of interest at the time as a possible water route to the Pacific. Drawn by R. Bonne for G. Raynal’s Atlas de Toutes les Parties Connues du Globe Terrestre, Dressé pour l'Histoire Philosophique et Politique des Établissemens et du Commerce des Européens dans les Deux Indes.
