Notes: This 1778 map of Newfoundland (or Isle de Terre-Neuve in French) by explorer and cartographer James Cook is a detailed and historically significant depiction of the island. Published in Paris, the Terre-Neuve map features intricate coastal outlines, labeled landmarks, and a compass rose, providing valuable navigational information for sailors and explorers of the time.
Created at a scale of 1:1,330,000, it features the island portion of the Province of Newfoundland . Relief details are shown pictorially with Depths shown by sounding values. Cook’s map remains a valuable resource for understanding the history and geography of Newfoundland during the late 18th century.
James Cook was a British explorer and navigator who made significant contributions to maritime cartography. He is best known for his voyages to the Pacific Ocean, but he also explored Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1750s, charting the coastline and conducting scientific studies.
