London periodicals regularly published maps of Britain's American colonies during the French and Indian War (1754-63), as British and French armies vied to gain control of the Eastern Great Lakes and Canada. This early view of the area surrounding Montreal was published in the London Magazine and shows travel routes, cities, rivers, churches, and the topography of Montreal and surrounding islands.
