Title: Course of the River Mississippi, from the Balise to Fort Chartres; Taken on an Expedition to the Illinois, in the latter-end of the year 1765 Author: Ross, John Place: London Publisher: Printed for Robert Sayer Date: 1775 Description: Engraved map, colored in outline. 112.5x34.5 cm (44¼x13½"). This is apparently the second state, or edition, of this important map based on the first official survey of the lower Mississippi River. The map extends north to just below St. Louis, with much information concerning the locations of plantations, forts and Indian tribes; notes on historical events such as battles and discoveries; and notable landmarks. It provides excellent detail for the course of the Mississippi in the New Orleans area and shows Baton Rouge. For the British, the map was important because it focused on a relatively little known territory that was part of what the British gained at the conclusion of the French and Indian War in 1763. Further Notes from the Files of Warren Heckrotte Full title: Course of the River Mississippi, from the Balise to Fort Chartres; Taken on an Expedition to the Illinois, in the latter-end of the year 1765.

References: Stevens - Tree 31(b). Goss, The Mapping of North America, Map 67 Provenance: B. Rosenthal, 10/77 According to Potter list, 8/94, there are two states. The second has additions in the area around New Orleans. Swann, Auc Cat of 3/13/99, Reps auc, states there are four states. Swann Auc Cat of 12/16/99, states that there are three states! Arkway, Cat 69, states that first state was published 1772, second state 1775 and third state 1794 published by Laurie and Whittle Lot Amendments Condition: Some toning and offset, partially split along folds with some earlier verso repairs, wide margins at sides were once folded; about very good, worthy of some restoration.
