Description
North America. jean Baptiste Poirson, Amerique Septentrionale, 1803 (dated). Hand Color. This attractive map shows the newly acquired Louisiane as a United States possession.

The supposed course of the Columbia River is shown flowing into British Columbia. A possible Northwest Passage is shown via the Mer Selon Arrowsmith. The map extends to include the Caribbean islands and northern South America. Decorated by a simple block-style title cartouche and six distance scales.
