There is an Amsterdam edition (1722) of Delisle’s _Carte du Mexique et de La Floride, des Terres Angloises et des Isles Antilles, du Cours et des Environs de la Rivière de Mississipi_, measuring 24 × 19 inches, which includes nearly the whole of North America. Nicholas de Fer was at this time the royal geographer of Belgium, 1701-1716.[133] We note several of his maps:— _Les Costes aux Environs de la Rivière de Misissipi, par N. de Fer_, 1701. This extends from Cape Roman (Carolina) to the Texas coast, and shows the Mississippi up to the “Nihata” village. There is a copy in the Sparks MSS., vol. xxviii. _Le Vieux Mexique avec les Costes de la Floride, par N. de Fer,_ 1705. This extends south to the Isthmus of Panama. There is a copy in the Sparks MSS., vol. xxviii. _Le Canada ou Nouvelle France_, Paris, 1705. There is a copy in the Sparks MSS., vol. xxviii. It shows North America from Labrador to Florida, and includes the Mississippi valley. The region west of the Alleghanies is given to France, as well as the water-shed of the lower St. Lawrence. De Fer also published, in 1717, _Le Golfe de Mexique et les provinces et isles qui l’environne_ [sic]. In 1718 his _Le Cours du Mississipi ou de Saint Louis_ was published by the Compagnie d’Occident. Making a part of Herman Moll’s _New and exact Map of the Dominions of the King of Great Britain on the Continent of North America_, measuring 24 × 40 inches, issued in 1715, was a lesser draft called _Louisiana, with the indian settlements and number of fighting men according to the account of Capt. T. Nearn._[134] When Moll, in 1720, published his _New Map of the North Parts of America claimed by France under the name of Louisiana, Mississippi, Canada, and New France, with the adjoining territories of England and Spain_ (measuring 24 × 40 inches), he said that a great part of it was taken from “the original draughts of Mr. Blackmore, the ingenious Mr. Berisford, now residing in Carolina, Capt. Nairn, and others never before published.” He adds that the southwest part followed a map by Delisle, published in Paris in June, 1718.[135] In 1719 the Sieur Diron made observations for a map preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris, _Fleuve Saint Louis, ci-devant Mississipi_, showing the course of the river from New Orleans to Cahokia, which was not drawn, however, till 1732.[136] About the same time (1719-20) the surveys of M. De Sérigny were used in another map, preserved in the Archives Scientifiques de la Marine, _Carte des Côtes de la Louisiane depuis les bouches du Mississipi jusqu’à la baie de Saint-Joseph_. Part of the gulf shore of this map is reproduced in Thomassy (plate ii.). The year 1719 is also assigned to John Senex’s _Map of Louisiana and the river Mississipi, most humbly inscribed to Law of Lawreston_, measuring 22 X 19 inches.[137]
