NATURAL HISTORY AND PHYSIOGRAPHY OF NEW BRUNSWICK

name, as a crude sketch upon Baillie’s maps of 1832, is shown 
at its mouth and named the “North Branch” on Berton’s Survey 
map of 1838, and is sketched in its lower courses and wrongly 
called “Upper North Branch,” on Wilkinson's map of 1859, un " 
doubtedly from data supplied by lumbermen. The very first point 
located by survey upon its course was given by a timber-line sur- 
vey by Deputy Surveyor Fish, which crossed it west of Long 
Lake in 1880 (See the accompanying map). The next year 
Deputy Surveyor Freeze surveyed its lower ten miles, the only 
part of its course yet surveyed, and in that and the following year 
ran the several important timber lines which gave us our first 
knowledge of a large section of this wilderness tract and located 
several additional points on its course and tributary streams. 
These were the data which Mr. Loggie had in making his map 
of 1885, and he was followed dlosely, though with some slight 
variations, upon the geological survey map of 1887, which repre- 
sents the best map yet published of this stream. Since 1881 
various additional lines have been run from time to time as the 
needs of lumbering demanded, giving additional locations for the 
courses of the various streams ; but as no additional surveys what- 
ever of the streams themselves have been made, these are 
necessarily, both on the Crown Land Office plans and on the 
accompanying map, simply sketched between the intersections of 
the timber-llines. On the map I have tried to show the less cer- 
tain portions by the most broken lines. 
So much for cartography, and there is little left to add. Of 
scientific study there has been none ; no geologist has visited the 
stream, and there is no mention of it in any of the Geological 
great extension northward, supplemented perhaps by the coldness of its 
water. It is commonly shoitened in use to “The Pole.” Of the other 
names on the map, Kill-Heg Brook was given by Freeze, for a wooden 
kill-heg or killeck trap found by him there. Skunk Lake, Half-moon Lake, 
Devils Lake, Graham Lake, Sable Mountain, Portage Brook, Devils Gulch; 
were all given by Henry Braithwaite, presumably descriptive of form or 
use or other peculiarity. Malone Pond was given by us because touched 
by a timber line run in 1903 by W. Malone. Cave Brook was igiven in 
1900 by W. B. Hoyt, descriptively, as he tells me of the physical characters 
of the stream. Forks Mountain is a descriptive name of the lumbermen. 
Hickey Lakes and Long Lake are on Fish’s plan of 1880 and no doubt are 
descriptive and for some early lumberman.
