Interpretation
This
map
is
known
for its
detailed
depiction
of the
states
adjacent
to the
Gulf
of
Mexico
region
and the
Mississippi
River.
It
is
also the
first
printed
map
to
show
a
variant
name
for
Texas
(Teijas)
and the
land
routes
of
many
of the
explorers
of
previous
centuries.
On the
map
,
De
L™Isle
made
assertions
that
Carolina
was a
possession
of the
French.
This
disturbed
the
English
and was
countered
by
Herman
Moll™s
Map
of
North
America
According
to
ye
Newest

Exact
Observations
of
1720.
