The first printed map of Detroit, from Bellin's Petite Atlas Maritime, published after the French lost control of the Great Lakes forts to the British during the French and Indian War. Based on two manuscript maps by Joseph Gaspard Chaussegros de Lery, "Plan du Fort Detroit" (1749) and "La Riviere du Detroit" (1752). The map shows the Detroit River between Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, with farms along both banks, the location of the fort, settlements and Indian villages. The inset plan of the fort delineates the various streets and buildings within its walls. The river and lake portions are lightly colored, at a later date. Tooley America p.210, pl. 114
