Carte De La Nouvelle France by Samuel de Champlain 1632]

Champlain, Samuel de. Carte de la Nouvelle France : augmentee depuis la derniere, servant a la navigation faicte en son vray meridien par le Sr. de Champlain [facsimile]. [1:5 700 000]. 1632. As reproduced by, Ottawa: Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives, ACMLA Facsimile Map Series #62. Champlain prepared several maps of New France, much of which land he had himself traversed. This map, which accompanied his description of the country, is remarkable partly because of its cartographic techniques of hachured hill symbols, and vegetation and settlement symbols, and partly because of the concepts of western and northern geography which he presented. He believed that the Arctic Ocean (Mer du Nort Glacialle) extends south to the west of Hudson Bay, and to a short distance north of Lake Superior (Grand Lac). In effect, what is now Manitoba would be fundamentally located in these icy waters. Champlain’s map is significant, not so much for what it depicts of the western area, but because it was a mother map [base map] whose features were used by many later cartographers in conjunction with their new ideas to illustrate their concepts of Western geography.
