Levasseur maps are also known to offer a wealth of statistical data. Since present times, very few Levasseur maps were even moved out of France where they were mostly used in public libraries and town halls. This intricately detailed and beautifully rendered map, ?Dept. De La Meuse?, by Levasseur depicts the department of Meuse, located in northeaster France, named after the Meuse River.
