Description
Map of the Great Lakes region, covering the area from Lake Superior to western Quebec, and from Delaware Bay to the Mississippi River.

Includes four legendary but non-existent islands in Lake Superior described by the Jesuit explorer Pierre de Charlevoix, vainly sought by explorers for many years.
