This mid-18th century map of Celebes (Sulawasi) shows the island divided into approximately a dozen separate kingdoms. The Gulf of Saleyer is noted as being ‘rempli de Bancs de Sable [filled with sandbanks]’.

The note in French at the top left of this map states that although the map is accurate, the names of many small islands have been omitted to avoid confusion, and that more details will come later.
