Father Marquette was helpfull on his journey with Joliet to explore and find out whether the Mississippi did indeed empty into the Gulf of Mexico, which would be helpful the the French as a trade route from Canada.
After Champlain died Joliet with his father Jaques Marquette and five other companions in 1673 set out by the orders of Comte de Frontenac, the Canadian Governor to trace the Mississippi River. They started from Saint Ignac on the Straits of Mackinac on May 17. Traveling in Birchbark canoes, they crossed Lake Michigan to Green Bay and southwest on the Fox River. Then they went down the Wisconsin River and followed the Mississippi's winding course southward, they never went to the Gulf of Mexico because they were scared of the Spaniards. They learned that the Mississippi River flowed into the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Pacific Ocean. The party paddled more than 2500 miles. Joliet lost his maps and papers, when his canoe fell into the Saint Lawrence River, but he made several maps from memory. As a reward for his work Joliet received the island of Anticosti in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. In 1697 he received Joliet, a town south of Quebec.
