Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 18th century Cassini map of France, detail of the surroundings south of Cosne, in the north-west of the present Nièvre departement, in Burgundy. The town of Cosne is centered on the upper edge of the picture, standing on the right bank of the Loire river that crosses the picture in roughly south-west/-north-east direction. The "road (from Paris) to Lyon through the Bourbonnais" also crosses the picture, coming due south from Cosne. The river reaching Cosne and the Loire from the south-east is the Nohain. After Cosne, the main town is Bannay, showing here on the left bank of the Loire (therefore in the present Cher département). Many small villages and hamlets are indicated on the map. Villechaud (fr) is 4.5 km south of Cosne, about 1 mi west of the road to Lyon and 1/2 mi east of the Loire river. 1/3 of a mile south-west of it is Villefroide, another hamlet.
Français : Carte de Cassini (XVIIIe s.), détail des environs au sud de Cosne, dans le nord-est du département de la Nièvre, en Bourgogne. Cosne est au centre du bord supérieur de la carte, au bord et rive droite de la Loire qui traverse l'image dans une direction approximative S-O/N-E. La rivière qui rejoint Cosne et la Loire par le sud-est est le Nohain.

Après Cosne, une autre grande ville est Bannay, sur la rive gauche de la Loire (donc dans le présent département du Cher).

La "route de (Paris à) Lyon par le Bourbonnais" traverse aussi la carte, se dirigeant plein sud depuis Cosne. La carte indique de nombreux villages. Villechaud est à 4,5 km au sud de Cosne à environ 1,6 km à l'ouest de la route de Lyon, et à environ 800 m à l'est de la Loire. Environ 90 m au sud-ouest de Villechaud est le hameau de Villefroide.
