Title: Map of the Counties of Shefford, Iberville, Brome, Missisquoi, and Rouville, Canada East.
Publisher: H.F. Walling, 1864.
Source: Missisquoi Museum
Description:
This is a very nice map depicting not only roads, railroads, and civil subdivisions but, in many cases, lot numbers and even owners of specific lots. This astonishing amount of detail is only possible because of the size of the original map: 138 x 140 cm! The map also reflects the early settlement by Anglophones, visible through the owners' names on each lot. Anglicized place names ("Lake," "River" and "Road"), and even archaic place names such as Mont Johnson (Mont-Gregoire) and St. Johns (St-Jean-sur-Richelieu) dot the map.see map here
