[ganong] cartography 01 NKW BRUNSWICK 399 



Map of Miramiehi, by Micheau. 1785 ; a Plan of New Brunswick, 1785 ; 

 Map of the Scudiac (St. Croix), 1785 ; Ma[) of New Brunswick, 178(; ; 

 Map of New Brunswick, 1788, all mentioned in the Canadian Archives 

 for 1895, and listed more fully later in this paper. The ])lan and map 

 of IS'ew Brunswick are, no doubt, of much interest, but 1 have not been 

 able to see them. There are, also, in the British Museum, a map of a 

 part of New Brunswick of 1786 on a large scale, and another of Fort 

 Cumberland to Fredericton of 1799, neither of which I have seen. 

 Some of the most important maps on New Brunswick are in the volume 

 CXIX. in the Kini^-'s librar}'. Other maps of some importance are 

 Jones's map of Passamaquoddy of 1805, and Lockwood's fine copper- 

 plate map of the mouth of the Eiver St. John of 1818. 



After 1783 the more accessible parts of the province, particularly 

 those fitted for settlement, were surveyed in connection with their assign- 

 ment to the New England and Loyalist immigrants, and this gave the 

 topography which appears in those parts in Purd}" and the other earlier 

 maps. The results of these surveys are carefully preserved in the Crown 

 Land ollice at Fredericton, and naturally are of the utmost historical 

 value. 



It is surprising how few printed maps there are of this period which 

 show the topography so rapidly developing. Arrowsmith's was the first, 

 then the fragment on Osgood's Maine of 1S02, then came Gary's small 

 one of 1807, then that of Purdy, 1814 ; next came the two maps by 

 Bouchette, but no others until that of Bonnor. Tardieu's map of 1808 

 is a complete return to the older type. 



Such were the conditions at the close of this period, and such were 

 the materials which Bonnor used in making his map of 1820. All through 

 this period accurate data had been accumulating ; Bonnor was the fii-st 

 to collect them together upon a single map of large scale showing New 

 Brunswick alone. 



TYPE No. 7.— THE COMPLETE TYPE. 

 Bonnor, 1820. to the Present. 



The ferlod of continuons improvement, through a series of large-scale 

 maps of the entire province, each based upon a preceding complete map plus all 

 information accumulated in the meantime. Numerous surveys in connection 

 with the international boundary antil after IS^.2, and the Quebec-New Bruns- 

 loick boundary until after ISô'i, and others connected with formation of new 

 settlements, county lines, timber licenses, running surveys of the principal 

 rivers, roads, geological surveys, etc.; all these, pieced together, compose the 

 successive maps. The coast entirely and minutely re-surveyed by the British 

 Admiralty, and the lower St. John by Capt. Oioen; thus, the coast on our maps
