This is a fascinating 1852 map of the French department of L'Yonne, France. L'Yonne is of France's premier Burgundy wine region and produces some of the worlds finest reds. Yonne is also one of only two departments that produce Chaource cheese. Chaource is a cow's milk cheese, cylindrical in shape. The central pâte is soft, creamy in color, and slightly crumbly, and is surrounded by a white penicillium candidum rind. The whole map is surrounded by elaborate decorative engravings designed to illustrate both the natural beauty and trade richness of the land. There is a short textual history of the regions depicted on both the left and right sides of the map. Published by V. Levasseur in the 1852 edition of his Atlas National de la France Illustree.

Thalia has two major features, one centered roughly on the equator, and the other at the North Pole. Using the polar projection, the polar feature is much easier to see.
This high resolution data required months of mapping and a full 90 degree inclination. Although, once the poles were well mapped the satellite was moved to a lower inclination to hurry along the data collection toward the equator.
