Copied from Guillaume de l'Isle's 1718 map entitled "Carte de la Louisiane et du cours du Mississipi", but here extended to include geographical coverage of New England.

According to Cumming, this map is found in at least three different issues, but he does not describe the states.

This map shows the routes of earlier explorers namely Hernando de Soto, Robert Cavelier de La Salle, Louis Juchereau de St. Denis, and Henri de Tonti. It also shows in great detail the locations of indigenous tribes and forts. It shows part of the American southwest, the course of the Mississippi River from its head to the delta in Louisiana, the Great Lakes, Florida, the Gulf of Mexico and part of the West Indies, the Mid-Atlantic coast, New England, and Lower Canada.

Colloquially known as the "Buffalo Map", it includes two illustrations of Buffalo, one in the title cartouche and the other in an illustrated cartouche vignette depicting a Native American man and woman with a child in a papoose on her back and a pelican in the foreground. The title cartouche depicts Father Louis Hennepin, cross held aloft, a Native American man and child, and a man in western dress holding a gun behind him. An inset view of Niagara Falls is engraved below the title cartouche.
