Ths map shows river and lake systems, mountains and other features. Towns and forts are also shown often with notes referring to the purpose they served. Jaillot's map was one of the first to show areas of the west and while the details are very stylized they are significant, for later cartographers such as Franquelin and De L'Isle relied to some extent upon this Jaillot map. The map first appeared with the date 1685 in Jaillot: Atlas françois...Paris, 1695-[1697], pl. 11. The plate was re-issued later with the date 1700. The N.M.C. holds another copy of this 1700 state (See Note 1).
