Cartography. 



with him only the original Peach map, and not the later Peach-Morris 

 map, he used the former and made the copy to accompany a report of 

 his journey. Several other maps following the Peach type, but differ- 

 ing more or less among themselves, sho'wing that tliey were copied noit 

 from one another so much as from some accessible original are men- 

 tioned in page 394. I am inclined to think the Peach map was 

 })ublished, and, if not, it was probably accessible in several copies, and 

 we may therefore hope that it will yet be found. 



"We will now trace the other early maps of the St. John, and the 

 evohition of its Cartography to the present. The earliest survey map of 

 the Eiver was that accompanying the Monckton lîeport (Cartography, 

 390), which was made, as earlier shown, by Samuel (?) Holland. Its 

 topography appears upon a later map by Moryis, namely, the '"'phiart 

 of the Peninsula of Nova Scotia of 1761" (see List of maps laterj). 

 Xext came the Peach Survey of the river of 1761, of which I know 

 nothing more than is contained in the preceding paragraph. Next to 

 this, and completely independent of it, comes an anonymous undated 

 map of great interest preserved in the liibrary of Congress and rie- 

 produced herewith (Map Xo. 3) entitled, — *' Survey of the Eiver St. 

 Johns from fort Fredrick in tlie Bay of Fundy to the Eiver Medauesqua 

 with the Lake Temesacuata and the grand Portage frpm thence to the 

 Eiver St. Lawrence." L^nfortunately it is but a fragment, including the 

 Tivei'; from the Bay of Fundy to the head of the Long Reach, but it is 

 'of very great , interest because of its extremely detailed and aecurafce 

 character. The topography is more accurate than that of any later map 

 down to Owen'si survey of 1846, though the nomenclatjure is curioasily 

 erroneous at the Belleisle, which is confused both with the Kennebecasia 

 and the Washademoac^ There is no clue to author or date, but the 

 inscription — " the French use this way when they go to fetch cattle, 

 etc." — seems to show that the French were in numbers on the river 

 Aviien it was made, and certainly it must antedate the IMorris map of 

 IT 65. As Morris shows no trace of its influence, I surmise that it wag 

 made about the same time as his own (1765) but independently. Hap- 

 pily a clue to its authorship is given us in the valuable documents 

 recently published in the Collections of the N. B. Historical Society. 

 Vndor date Dec. 11, 1764, (308) Captain Glasier describes a recent 

 trip to the St. John river (in November) in the counse of which ha 

 says. — " I had the best Information from the Indians and Inhabitants 

 settled 40 miles up the river, and the Ingineer of the Fort who had just 

 been up to take a plan of the Eiver." There is) nothing to show who
