Early Maps of the American South
— Special Topics: Early French Explorations

[Home]  [updated 12/12/21]

This page contains collections of maps pertaining to the late 17th-century French explorations of western New France, i.e., the Great Lakes and the upper Mississippi Valley. These explorations laid the groundwork for France's colonization of the South, and thus provide a background to many of the later maps shown elsewhere on this site. The maps are arranged in the following categories:

  1. Great Lakes Expeditions (1669-1690)
  2. Mississippi River Expedition, Marquette-Jolliet (1673)
  3. Mississippi River Expedition, LaSalle (1682)
  4. Gulf Coast and Interior Expedition, LaSalle (1684-1687)
  5. Mississippi River Voyages, Tonti and Early Missionaries (1699-1704)
  6. Gulf Coast and Mississippi River Expedition, Iberville (1699)
  7. Mississippi River Expedition, Le Sueur (1700-1701)
Within each category the maps are listed alphabetically by author, and then by date.

Many can be viewed on the web sites of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF), the Library and Archives of Canada (LAC), or the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS). Click here for a complete list of repositories and their abbreviations.
