Map of the course of the saguenay river called pitchitaouichetz by the savages
“this map of the course of the saguenay river called (sic) by the savages pitchitaouichetz is the work of nicolas bellin, marine engineer. It was inspired by the work of the jesuit pierre laure – who produced maps of the domaine du roy between 1731 and 1733 – that bellin made his own. It is published, with others by bellin on new france, in the history of new france by the jesuit françois-xavier de charlevoix. This map presents the main rivers and places in the saguenay, often of native american origin, the best known at the time by navigators and explorers. » – shistoiresaguenay. Com. Date: 1744.
