Coronelli's Map of the Great Lakes, 1688 Vincenzo Coronelli's 1688 map of western New France is the most accurate general portrayal of the Great Lakes on a printed map in the seventeenth century and is an excellent fusion of the many explorers' manuscript maps received while he was cartographer to Louis XIV. Ordinary and bizarre activities are depicted in the cartouches in the upper and lower right-hand corners.

Frisland appears as a name of an island south of Iceland on many old maps depicting the North Atlantic region. In Nicolo Zeno’s book and map of 1558 it is very prominent. Frisland was probably an amalgamation of Iceland and the Faeroes and the double of both of them. This map is from Corso geografico universale by Vincenzo Coronelli and is probably derived from the Zeno map.
