One of the earliest of the printed maps is that called _Partie occidentale du Canada, ou de la Nouvelle France, ou sont les nations des Ilinois, de Tracy, les Iroquois, et plusieurs autres peuples, avec la Louisiane nouvellement découverte, ... par le P. Coronelli, corrigée et augmentée par le Sr. Tillemon à Paris, 1688_, of which the annexed sketch follows a copy in Harvard College Library. This was united with the _Partie orientale_ in 1689 in a single smaller map.[624] [Illustration] [Illustration: FRANQUELIN’S 1688 MAP.] [Illustration: CORONELLI ET TILLEMON, 1688.] The routes of several of the early explorers, like those of Du Lhut, Joliet, and Marquette (1672), and La Salle (1679-1680), are laid down on a manuscript map, _Carte des parties les plus occidentales du Canada, par le Père Pierre Raffeix, S. J._,[625] which is preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale, and of which a sketch as “Raffeix, 1688,” is given on the next page. [Illustration] A map of Lakes Ontario and Erie, by the Père Raffeix, is in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris;[626] and from a copy in the Kohl Collection at Washington the sketch on page 234 is taken. It is called, _Le Lac Ontario avec les lieux circonvoisins et particulierment les cinq Nations Iroquoises_. Another map, thought to be the work of Raudin, Frontenac’s engineer,[627] should be found in the Archives of the Marine, but according to Harrisse it is not there.[628] The Barlow Collection, however, has a map which Harrisse believes to be the lost original; a sketch of the western part is given herewith.[629] It also gives the eastern seaboard with approximate accuracy, but represents Lake Champlain as lying along the headwaters of the Connecticut and the Hudson. Lake Erie is a squarish oblong, larger than Ontario, and of a shape rarely found in these early maps. In the upper lakes it resembles the map of 1672-1673, which Harrisse[630] also found missing from the Bibliothèque Nationale. The maps which pertain to Hennepin and Lahontan are separately treated on a later page. [Illustration: RAFFEIX, 1688. This sketch is from a copy in the Kohl Washington Collection. There is another copy in the Barlow Collection. The original is in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. (Harrisse, _Notes_, etc., no. 238.) It is marked, _Parties les plus occidentales du Canada, Pierre Raffeix, Jesuite_. Harrisse puts it under 1688; Kohl says between 1681 and 1688. The lines of exploration, as indicated on it, are explained in the marginal inscriptions as follows:— Voyage et premiere descouverte de la riviere de Mississipi faite par le P. Marquette, Jesuitte, et Mr. Jolliet, en 1672. (—.—.) signifie l’allée. (.....), le retour.
