Other copy, not as good condition, located T0199.1973. Label from 1996 exhibit: Relying heavily on Deslisle's 1718 "Carte de la Louisiane," van Keulen omitted New Orleans (or did not yet have information concerning its founding), did not include de Soto's route, and added the location of many Indian tribes. The Dutch mapmaker delineated all of New England and much of Canada and depicted Florida as a complete peninsula--unlike Deslisle, who identified the area as an archipelago, a common error of early European mapmakers. This map includes the legend, see to the west of the Mississipp0i River, "land filled with herds of wild buffalo ["pays remoli de troupeaux de Bouefs Sauvages]."

Relying heavily on Deslisle's 1718 "Carte de la Louisiane," van Keulen omitted New Orleans (or did not yet have information concerning its founding), did not include de Soto's route, and added the location of many Indian tribes. The Dutch mapmaker delineated all of New England and much of Canada and depicted Florida as a complete peninsula--unlike Deslisle, who identified the area as an archipelago, a common error of early European mapmakers. The mouth and course of the Mississippi River is generally correct, but the coast of Texas is based on older maps with the bays generally larger than they really are. Delineated with pro-French bias, thereby diminishing British claims in North America. Louisiana extends east to the Alleghenies. Colony of Delaware not shown.
