were the creation of Pierre Francois Charlevoix )1682-1761) a French
Jesuit priest who explored Canada and America's northeastern regions
between 1705-1720. Charlevoix created the islands to honor his Patron
Jean Frederic Phelippeaux, Comte de Maurepas whose family estate was
named Ponchartrain and whose Patron Saint was St. Anne. The fictitious
islands of Phillipeaux, St. Anne, Maurepas and Ponchartrain appeared on
many maps until later explorers were able to discount their existence in
the early 19th century. The map of Florida was the creation of Antonio
Zatta, and only he knew why he had placed it in the largely unexplored
territory above Lake Superior! The map is Plate 1 from “Le Colonie Unite
Dell' America Settentrle” a 12 sheet atlas based on John Mitchell's
important map of the British and French dominions in North America.”
