Cartographic Beasts Of North America
This wonderful story map is an interactive version of Jean-Baptiste-Louis Franquelin “Carte Genlle. de la France Septle. Contenant la Descouverte du Pays des Illinois” (1675) mapping an expedition two years earlier down the Mississippi River. It is filled with animals, some real, others fantastical.
