Map with interesting Fonts



Here is an interesting map that I found. Click to enlarge.

it is of North America, drawn in 1640. (based on what was "known" at the time). Canada is called "New France", it being a French possession at the time and till 1763. They included a huge amount of information in this map and used different fonts to portray qualitative differences in what was being identified.
