Its French title, *Amérique Septentrionale divisée en ses principales parties*, announces a map that splits North America into its main regions rather than focusing on a single city or coastline. Paris printed large numbers of maps like this in the eighteenth century, when French geographers such as Guillaume Delisle set the standard for how the continent was drawn. The divisions often reflected the competing claims of France, Spain, and Britain, so the boundaries reveal as much about colonial ambition as about the land. The labels and borders also changed with each generation of mapmakers, which makes the interior worth reading closely.
