Course of the River Mississippi, from the Balise to Fort Chartres
-
Based on surveys conducted only a few years after the Treaty of Paris ceded lands east of the Mississippi to England, Lieutenant Ross’s detailed map was a significant advance over such distinguished French cartographers as D’Anville. On a scale like few others for the length of river depicted, the Ross map was widely held to be the most reliable map of the river produced in the 18th century—it clearly evidences the Mississippi Valley’s growing social, political, commercial and agricultural significance., Details Mississippi River in 1765. Published in 1778 edition of: The American atlas : or, A geographical description of the whole continent of America: wherein are delineated at large, its several regions, countries, states, and islands ; and chiefly the British colonies, composed from numerous surveys / several of which were made by order of government by Major Holland ...

Draught of the River Missis[s]ippi from the Balise up to Fort Chartres
-
This is the most important description of old and new settlements along the Mississippi River Valley in English in the 18th century by a soldier who volunteered to bring new knowledge to the British command in North America concerning Louisiana, all readers having to the time of publication of this new book depended far too long on out of date sources. Pittman himself had noted that “Louisiana is no longer the same as in the time of Pere Hennepin, and all other authors that I have read on this subject rather abound with Indian stories and talks, than with useful information”. He was in St. Louis two years after its establishment and observed its progress directly. He mapped the region thoroughly for his government as Ross had done, to Fort Chartres., From: The present state of the European settlements on the Mississippi : with a geographical description of that river illustrated by plans and draughts / by Captain Philip Pittman.
