The two large folding maps show the Great Lakes regions, as drawn by the author himself, illustrating early settlements, forts, and Native American territories, as well as a geographically inaccurate depiction of the Great Lakes and surrounding topography that impacted and confused future generations of explorers.

Lahontan came to New France in 1683 as captain of a regiment which he led in expeditions against the Iroquois. He traveled west in 1687 with Duluth and was given command of Fort St. Joseph on the St. Clair River. He left this post in 1688, venturing further west by the Fox-Wisconsin portage and reached the upper Mississippi. His work is considered one of the first comprehensive descriptions of the western part of the continent.
