Map of Québec City in 1693
This map shows Québec in 1693. The capital of New France arises on Cape Diamant and extends down to the shores of the St. Lawrence River. Arrows indicate the direction of the river’s currents. The main buildings, such as the Jesuit and Ursuline complexes, are clearly drawn and identified. New France had a population of around 11,000 at the time.
