Flag

I see that the flag here changes all the time. So did some simple research.Moxy- 04:39, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Old maps

I added the 1703 map of New France, removed earlier in favor of an image of the intendant, to the section on Louisiana. I really value images of the maps made at the time, showing how those early settlers and explorers understood North America. The maps are almost shown in order of the year drawn or year represented, through the article. --Prairieplant (talk) 21:24, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
