25 Georges-Louis Le Rouge (c. 1712–c. 1790) – Map of France - the Island of Martinique / Isle de la Martinique – Engraving (Circa 1748–1756)
This map is a geographical plan of the Caribbean island of Martinique, a French overseas department. The title, ISLE DE LA MARTINIQUE, is located in the lower left corner. The map provides extensive detail on the island's topography, marking mountains, bays, coves, coastal defenses, and settlements. The surrounding sea is prominently labeled MER DU NORD (North Sea). This detailed plan of a French colonial possession was typically included in atlases intended to document global geography or French territorial holdings.
Georges-Louis Le Rouge was a German-born French military engineer and cartographer who served as the Geographical Engineer to the King (Ingénieur Géographe du Roi). Active in Paris from the 1740s, he specialized in compiling and publishing highly detailed maps and atlases, often incorporating the latest geographical knowledge into works such as the Nouvel Atlas Portatif (1748) and the Introduction à la Géographie (1756).
