Louis Brion de la Tour (c.1743 – 1803) was an 18th-century French geographer. His official title was “Ingénieur Géographe du Roi” (“King’s Engineer Geographer”). Although he was a prolific geographer, very little is known of his life or his career. He worked in collaboration with L. C. Desnos, who published the present map.
