Jacques Marquette was a French Jesuit missionary and explorer who is best known for his explorations of the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes region in the 17th century. He primarily explored areas in present-day Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois, seeking to establish missions and engage in trade with Native American tribes. Marquette, alongside Louis Jolliet, is credited with the first European map of the northern Mississippi River, contributing significantly to the understanding of North America's interior.
