Description

The map shows the Gulf of St. Lawrence, part of the northeast Atlantic and the provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, as well as part of Quebec. Sable Island, Anticosti Island and the Magdalen Islands appear on the map. Mountains along the Gaspé are shown pictorially and labelled "The Lady Mountains". The map uses labels, stippling and colour to show several fishing banks. Two bar scales show the scale in statute English miles, common English miles and marine miles. James W. Macnutt Collection
