After a year's study of hydrography in France and some years as a trader and trapper on the Great Lakes, Jolliet was appointed (1672) as leader of an expedition in search of the Mississippi.
Jolliet was rewarded with the gift of Anticosti Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which was, however, seized by the British while Jolliet was absent on explorations in Labrador and around Hudson Bay.
In 1697 he was made royal professor of hydrography and given a small seigniory near Quebec.

The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a geographic database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or "reaches" that comprise the nation's surface water drainage system.
Furthermore, since the NHD provides a nationally consistent framework for addressing and analysis, water-related information linked to reach addresses by one organization (national, state, local) can be shared with other organizations and easily integrated into many different types of applications to the benefit of all.
The National Hydrography Dataset is designed to provide comprehensive coverage of hydrologic data for the US.
