Carte de la Louisiane et du cours du Mississipi 1718

Known for its detailed depiction of the states adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico region and the Mississippi River, this map is also the first printed map to show a variant name for Texas (from the note "Mission de los Teijas etablie en 1716" in what is now East Texas) and has been called "the map that named Texas". It depicts the great French explorations of the era and was copied for decades. By Guillaume de L'Isle.
