Did France get control of the Ohio Valley in the 7 years' war?

I thought that they were trying to get it, and had sent explorers, but a ma from http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://aphistorygoodhue.pbworks.com/f/1225164661/800px-Nouvelle-France_map-en.svg.png&imgrefurl=http://aphistorygoodhue.pbworks.com/w/page/10951652/Chapter%25206%2520-%2520The%2520Duel%2520for%2520North%2520America%2520%281608-1763%29&usg=__ufcwFpOWoJKx5aPIMOmfW1FFd7o=&h=570&w=800&sz=183&hl=en&start=0&sig2=9rRsDRwn-zhGhhU8k3-PZA&zoom=1&tbnid=NYDOhLYfhkrKUM:&tbnh=149&tbnw=209&ei=pgQFTYXjLcO-nAeu2JnoDQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3DOhio%2BValley%2Bmap%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1680%26bih%3D821%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=360&oei=pgQFTYXjLcO-nAeu2JnoDQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=30&ved=1t:429,r:27,s:0&tx=131&ty=53 shows that France got the territory. This makes no sense because they lost the 7 years' war/French-Indian war. Did they already have it when war broke out, then kept it? Or does this map show a point before the war? What was the situation concerning the Ohio valley before and after the war?
