Chart is from the 1570's Middle French word charte. It referred to maps made for navigators.
The difference in maps from 1754 and 1763 is primarily explained by the conclusion of the French and Indian War (1754-1763), which was part of the larger Seven Years' War. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 resulted in France ceding significant territories in North America to Great Britain, notably Canada and lands east of the Mississippi River. This territorial shift reflects the transition from French to British control, altering the geopolitical landscape of North America as depicted in the maps.
