'[ganong] cartography OF NEW BRUNSWICK 403 



I have not seen. There is a published plan of ISo') of the country from 

 Salmon Eiver to Eichibucto. There is a valuable map of Campobello of 

 1839. and the Eapkin map of 1840 is of some interest. In 18G2 was pub- 

 lished a large map of St, John and King-'s counties, on a scale of 400 rods 

 to an inch, by H. F. Walling, which will some day have great local his- 

 torical value, since it locates and names the house of every settler in those 

 counties outside of St. John in that year. Similar maps by the same fii-m 

 have been published of Westmorland and Albert. A map by Mr. Loggie 

 of the ]n'incipal timber Lands of New Brunswick, of 1S74, has some value. 

 Poe's Atlas of the Maritime Provinces of 1878, an inferior production, 

 contains twenty-five New Brunswick maps, and there is an Atlas of York 

 county, by Halfpenny, of the same year, A grotesque map of Charlotte 

 County was issued by McAlpine, St. John, years ago. In connection 

 with the boundary controversy, a perfect host of mai)S has appeared in 

 the various special reports, but the enumeration of these and their criti- 

 cal estimate I leave to another occasion. In one of the Eeports of 1840 

 is a lithographed series of reproductions of older maps of the French 

 period, and accompanjnng them is a valuable map of the Madawaska 

 region, showing the location of houses of most of the settlers. A valu- 

 able map of the Eestigouche up to the Kedgwick, with a full local 

 nomenclature, is given in Dean Sage's superb work, " The Eistigouche." 

 The Bay Verte canal surveys of 1873-74 produced an accurate ma]i of 

 the Isthmus of Chignecto, which has been much copied. There is a very 

 detailed map of Campobello of 1887. Bailey's "Canoemans Map of the 

 Upper St. John," 1890, is of some interest for New Brunswick, All of 

 these special maps will be found listed on a later page. 



The first geological map of New Brunswick is that in Lyell's Travels 

 in Noi-th America, 1845. Abraham (xesner made the first geological map 

 of the province, but it remained unpublished until recently, when a sketch 

 of it has been printed by the New Brunswick Natural History Society. 

 (Bulletin No. 15, 1897) New Brunswick, also, figures in the more 

 general maps by Hitchcock and by Marcou^ and especially in the maps in 

 the successive editions of Dawson's Acadian Geology. Of course there 

 are many special maps of particular parts of New Brunswick in the 

 geological and mining reports, where rhey are more or less accessible to 

 those interested. The later maps of the Canadian Geological Survey 

 have already been mentioned. A geological map of New Brunswick, 

 based upon Gesner's, was published by James Eobb, in Johnston's 

 " Eeport on the Agricultural Capabilities of New Brunswick," 1850, and 

 in the same volume is a map showing the i-elative qualities of its soils. 



Of maps showing vertical topography, contours, etc., almost none 

 exist. Except for the Admiralty maps, 1 know only of Owen's MS. mai» 

 of the lower St. John. It is true there are some maps which make an 

 attempt to represent the principal hill ranges by hachure lines, such
