Uses Paris as the prime meridian. German version of Bellin's 1744 map originally published in Charlevoix's Histoire et description générale de la Nouvelle France.
Includes a legend of notable locations and buildings. Prominent on the map is a label for Isle de Verderonne or Isle d'Orleans which became Boularderie Island.
The notation of 24 on the verso was very common on maps produced for atlases. It allowed the printer to correctly bind the atlas without needing to see the map. Along the bottom, outside the neat lines, the reader is directed to see maps 22 and 23: "Voyez la Carte de l'Isle Royale no. 22; voyez le Plan du Port de Louisbourg no. 23".
This article was written to accompany Bellin's map, engraved by Thomas Jefferys published in the January issue. The original map was published in Charlevoix's "Histoire et description générale de la Nouvelle France".
