This interesting cartographic work illustrates the contemporary French conception of Lake Ontario-looking out of it from Cartaraqui. Names of bays, islands and specific place names (eg. Toronto) are given. Small anchors mark shelter and good holding ground in several places towards the eastern end of the lake; dept of some harbour approaches are also given. A 32-point compass rose appearing in the center of Lake Ontario indicates north to the bottom of the map. Detailed charts of the three ports in use on Lake Ontario at the time, Niagara, Oswego and Kingston, appear as insets. Simple portraits of each vessel in the French and English fleets prior to August 1756 are illustrated (Snider, P. 2). The N.M.C. holds two copies of the map: one is a coloured transcript made by C. Pettigrew at the British Museum in April 1934; the other is a photocopy of the original held in the British Museum. (Great Britain, British Museum, King's Map CXXI-14).
