Cartography. 



Tor the siectiou from Fredeiicton to l'irand Falis, lie uses the Morris 

 names, adding some others, and his map became ait once the original for 

 that part of the river, and so remained until the }fear 1826 when it was 

 superseded by the map of the detailed survey by Foulis mentioned on 

 page 401 of the Cartography.^ The Foulis map' was superseded for the 

 part from Nackawic to Nashwaak by the Playford map of 1835, which 

 ^remains the type map for that region, asl Foulis map does of the river 

 thence to Grand Falls, to the present day. For the river from Grand 

 Falls to Madawaska, the Sproule map of 1787 contains the first survey, 

 and it remained the original of all maps of tliis part of the river down 

 to the commencement of the International boundary surveys, which 

 produced various improvements, and added the river above to the St. 

 Francis and beyond. The best of these suweys were those made by the 

 International commissions after 1842, on which further information 

 may be found in the Monograph on Boundaries, 345-347. Such is, I 

 believe the complete histor_y| of the evolution of the cartography of the 

 Eiver St. John, so far as its Ï^Tew Brunswick part is concerned. 



395. The Laurie & Whittle map of 1794 is identical with one of 

 1788 (see list following) pubhshed by Eobert Sayer in 1788. This map 

 represents a sub-type for the St. John,; using as it does the Peach type, 

 but it remains the same for the North Shore as the 1776 Sayer & 

 Bennett map of page 381 of the Cartography. 



396. Some attempt to prepare a map of the Province appears to 

 have been made in 1801-1802, for in these years (Feb. 18, 1801, Feb. 20, 

 1802) the House of Assembly petitioned the Governor to have a ma|)) 

 of the Province completed, bult no resultant map is known to me. 

 Another, MS. map. seems to have been prepared in 1814 (House of 

 Assembly Journals, March 2). 



397. The various important maps resulting from the Boundary 

 surveys, the importance of which i^ wholly underestimated in the 

 " Cartography," are described in the Monograph on Boundaries and are 

 listed in the list following. I have in the list given only those of marked 

 importance, especially those containing original information, omitting 

 compilations to show positions of the boundaries, etc. 



Another map of some interes't maae about this time was one of the 

 Magaguadavic in 1785. Under date Sept. 21, 1785, the New Brunswicic 

 Council Eecords show that there was authorized a warrant " to issue to 

 the surveyor general to survey the Maguaguadavick to its source." 

 Evidently this survey was made, though the original map is unknown to
