The map depicts Canada in the early 17th century, showcasing the vast and rugged landscape of the region. The map highlights the various waterways, mountains and forests, as well as the settlements and trading posts that were established throughout the country. It is evident from the map that Canada was a land of vast wilderness and untapped resources, with only a few scattered outposts and settlements dotted throughout the landscape. The central locations of St. Anthony, Forteau and La Scie suggest that these were important trading and commercial hubs during this time. Overall, this antique map provides a fascinating glimpse into Canada’s early history and the challenges faced by those who sought to conquer and settle this vast and unforgiving land.
