The first attempt at delineating the country of the Great Lakes is to be found in a map accompanying the work of Samuel Champlain, entitled "Les Voyages de la Novvelle France," published in Paris, in 1632.  So much of this map as includes the region lying southwest, west, and northwest of Lake Huron, is based wholly upon Indian reports.  That portion of it comprehending what is now Wisconsin, is reproduced for this work.  The explanatory words in brackets to be seen therein, do not, of course, appear in the original publication.  They are given from a description printed in Champlain's work; from contemporaneous as well as somewhat later authorities, and from a careful study of the map itself.  For this, we are indebted to C. W. Butterfield of Madison, Wisconsin. (The History of Northern Wis., 1881, pg. 49)
