Cartography. 



this Engineer was, but I take it he was the author of this map. How- 

 ever that may be, the map appears not to have become known to his 

 contemporaries, for no trace of its I'eajtures appears, so far, as I have 

 been able to find, in any other map. Very probably the engineer 

 carried it back with him to New England or New York and no copy 

 was ever senit to England. 



The next map of the St. John was a very important one, that mado 

 by Chas' Morris, Surveyor General of Nova Scotia, in 1765, which in- 

 cluded the St. John to above St. Anns, the coast to Passamaquoddy an3 

 that region. The original is in the Public Eecord Office, together 

 with a still unpublished Report accompanying it. Some very interest- 

 ing references to this survey occur in the Glasier Papers above men- 

 tioned, especially on page 322. This detailed and accurate map was 

 eMeng|ively copied (several of the copies being given in the list of maps 

 later) and naturally, being official, became the original for all maps of 

 the lower river for the next twenty^ years, or until the survey of D. 

 Campbell in 1785. Morris' map ended a short distance above St. Anns, 

 and so far as I can find, no new survey, replacing Peach's of 1761, was 

 made until after 1781, in which year, according to a note in the 

 Archives Eeport for 1894 (398) the river had apparently been sunveyed 

 only about 95 mUes, approximately the disltance of the Morris map. 

 Since Munro used the Peach Map of the upper river in 1783 apparently 

 no other had then been made, but upon a valuable j\IS. map in the Crown 

 Land Office, containing grants and other information to 1781 but none 

 thereafter, there is an excellent map of the river from survey all the 

 way to Grand Falls, on a scale of i miles to an inch, witl^ no trace of 

 the Peach nomenclature, but using names substantially as at present, 

 and clearly the foundation of the modern nomenclature. The original 

 of thisi map is, I believe, in the Public Record Office (see List of Maps 

 following under 1783?) and I surmise that it was made in 1783 or early 

 1784 by Charles Morris the younger, and it is very likely the "Sketch 

 of the River St. John " mentioned Dec. 1783 in the Archives Report for 

 1894, 411. It was followed closely by Sproule in his fine map of the 

 southwestern part of the Province of 1786, (reproduced in the Mono- 

 graph on Boundaries opposite page 412), but in no published map 

 known to me. The best maps of the St. John in 1784, therefore, were 

 the j\Iorris of 1765 up to above St. Anns, and the supposed Morris ol 

 1783 thence to Grand Falls. In the winter of 1784, however, an im- 

 portant map of the St. John based upon a survey of considerable 

 accuracy from St. Anns to Grand Falls, was made by Dougald Campbell,
