Levasseur?s maps are distinctive for their wide decorative margins containing elaborate depictions of the scenery, peoples, and trade goods of the areas he mapped. 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 Haute Loire?, by Levasseur depicts the department of Haute-Loire, located in south-central France, which is named after the Loire River. The department of Haute-Loire is located in the region of Auvergne, which includes the cities: Brioude, Le Puy, and Yssengeaux.
