French map of the idea of the Rade du Mingan by Jacques Nicolas Bellin
An excellent map of the Mingan’s port and the coastal islands, taken from the Petit Atlas Maritime de Bellin dating from 1764.
The map shows a section of the Quebec coast, at the mouth of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, just north of Anticosti Island, Canada.
The map is based on a survey carried out by the French frigate Diane in 1755.
Mingan is the homeland of the Innu people, who used the region in the summer to fish for salmon, hunt whales, gather with family and trade with each other. In 1661, the French established the Seigneurie de Mingan, as European colonization intensified and the fur trade developed in the region.
