This elegant map of the Great Lakes, printed in 1757 for Abbe Provost's L'Histoire Generale des Voyages, was drawn by French cartographer Jacques-Nicholas Bellin. It is also notable for being among the earliest maps to identify Detroit and the Port of Chicago (Checagou). Significantly, Bellin's cartography was one of the first to depict the four phantom islands in Lake Superior (Philippeux, Pontchartrain, Maurepas, and St. Anne) - islands that, despite their nonexistence, influenced the structuring of post-Revolutionary War borders between British Canada and the fledgling United States.

This is a 1949 Robert William Gadbois and Theodore J. Ritter cartoon pictorial map of the U.S. Naval Training Center Great Lakes, situated on the banks of Lake Michigan just north of Chicago in Illinois. Created in the post-war period, the map depicts the training center from the east and illustrates from Camp Porter to Foss Park and from the drill field to Lake Michigan. Highly detailed, myriad buildings throughout the U.S.N.T.C. are illustrated and labeled. Numerous camps, set up to house the tens of thousands of men present at the camp at any one time, are identified (most of which are named after Naval heroes), including Camp Downes, Camp Dewey, Camp Barry, Camp Moffett, and Camp Paul Jones. Ross Field, across from the main railway station, is named after Captain Albert R. Ross who supervised the base's construction. The Naval Hospital is also prominently labeled, complete with a patient drawn chasing a nurse. Other comic illustrations include a man in a striped suit, sailors playing ping pong, and another sailor drilling holes in the Drill Field. Others include a sea monster in Lake Michigan wearing a sailor's 'gob cap', a sailor riding a gigantic sea horse, and another sailor being romanced by a mermaid. There's even an octopus using a fishing pole fishing off a pier! A large decorative cartouche is situated in the lower left quadrant, just above an index of over one hundred buildings located throughout the base. (more details)
