| Notes | -
Previous British Library cataloguing has dated the map between 1731 and 1732, which in fact refers to the date the fort was built by the French. A date of between 1755, when the fort was identified by the British as an objective in their forthcoming military campaigns, and 1759, when the fort was destroyed, is more accurate.
