Kashnor notes, "This is the Châtelain map, taken from DeLisle. It locates only the French forts around Hudson's Bay, and shows a correct idea of the locations of the Indian tribes west of the Great Lakes; also shows La Houton's assumed location of the great River of the West, and the western sea beyond the range of mountains." Kashnor dates as ca. 1720. See 105:431 for another version, 105:433 for an earlier version. Historical remarks replace of cartouche on 105:431 version.. Prime meridian: Ferro?. Relief: pictorial.
