Charting Louisiana tells the fascinating story of Louisiana through maps, from the earliest appearance of the Gulf Coast on a sixteenth-century woodcut to a color-enhanced satellite view of the state. Published in celebration of the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase (2003), the atlas relates the epic history of Louisiana, tracing the discovery, colonization, and development of the region.

Charting Louisiana brings together 193 maps from the extensive holdings of The Historic New Orleans Collection; the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress; Chicago's Newberry Library; the Louisiana State Museum; and archives in France, Spain, Great Britain, and Mexico. The Historic New Orleans Collection's Louisiana atlas, with unprecedented compilation of maps and copious illustrations, offers a rare visual experience to all who peruse its pages.
