Northeast Africa: Map of the Nile from its source in Abyssinia to the Mediterranean, by Jean Andriveau-Goujon (1832-1897), 1858. The focus of this map is clearly the route of the Blue Nile to its junction with the White Nile at Khartoum and the combined river’s course to the Mediterranean. Numerous place-names are shown, as are the six cataracts of the river between Aswan and Khartoum. The Mountains of the Moon (montagnes de la lune) are present in the lower left corner, where the sources of the White Nile still elude discovery.
