Ca. 1788 Map of Southeastern US from the Rio Grande to Florida. ("L'Ancien et Le Nouveau Mexique, avec La Floride et la Basse Louisiane Partie Orientale") by M Bonne $300,A collectible and interesting 18th Century map of the area surrounding the Gulf of Mexico. This map starts out in the Bahamas, shows the US east coast from the tip of Florida to Charleston, S.C. and includes most of Cuba. The Gulf coast is shown in great detail and the Mississippi river is traced as far north as the junction with the Ohio River (roughly Kentucky.) There is also great detail of Eastern Texas southward through Mexico all the way to Panama. Rivers, towns, and Indian tribes are annotated. This is a fascinating map. Copper engraving, ca. 1788. Paper size is approx. 11" x17", with plate size approx. 9 3/4" x 14". A sharp impression in excellent condition though there are two small spots near title and two tiny spots in margin.

Because of its size and fragility we have not scanned it, but, upon request, we will scan a section of it for you.

It also shows Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the area north of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario (which is divided into "Canada East" and Canada West"). There are also two very interesting insets. One is titled "Falls Of Niagara" and is a wonderfully detailed map showing the streets of Niagara Falls, NY, annotations on the various rapids and falls, railroad connections on both the US and Canadian sides, and a note about the suspension bridge below the Falls. The other inset is titled "Land and Water Routes from Cleveland to Detroit & Chicago" and is centered on Michigan with parts of the adjoining states and coast of the adjoining Great Lakes. Lower margin annotated "Drawn & Engd W. Williams, Phila."
