http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/40429760

Map of the region around Fort St. Peter (also known as Fort St. Pierre, St. Claude, St. Charles, and Snyder) as it appeared ca. 1722. The region formed part of Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet, duc de Belle-Isle's land concessions in provincial Louisiana, and later became part of Warren County, Mississippi, about 12 miles northeast of Vicksburg on the Yazoo River. Keyed to 20 references, including details of the fort, named land concessions, and slave quarters. The settlement was abandoned by the French following the massacre of settlers in 1729 by local Indians. From French army officer Dumont de Montigny's 1747 manuscript memoire of his experiences in Louisiana between 1715-1737 (Ayer MS 257).
