This #map of the Mont Blanc region dates back to June 1794. The rivers and lakes are almost exact and accurate. On the other hand the mountains are quite fanciful. They are represented like linear ridges placed there to separate the valleys. And even these simplified orographic plots are quite wrong.This reveals that mountains were much less explored and mapped at that time.
