This is a detailed map of the canal connecting the towns of Pontgouin and Versailles. The map, created by an anonymous artist in 1702-1703, is part of a larger set that shows the route of the new canal. The map is displayed in the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands. The map depicts the route in great detail, with numerous towns and features labelled. In the lower corners are two figures digging and carrying shovels, hinting at the labor required to construct the canal.
