This series of maps is no longer available from the government, who update their survey maps regularly, but you should find them in most university map collections or geography departments. There are other detailed maps, look for a scale at least 1:250 000 (1 cm = 2.5 km/1 inch to approx. 4 miles); better yet 1: 50 000 (2 cm = 1 km/1 ¼ inch to 1 mile). | This series of maps is no longer available from the government, who update their survey maps regularly, but you should find them in most university map collections or geography departments.

A series of “Historic facsimile maps”, issued by the Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives, range from those of the earliest explorations (e.g. Champlain’s of 1653), to early 20th century. For New Brunswick (the province everyone forgets), however, there are very few. About the only detailed map is No. 71, A Map of the Great River St. John (Robert Campbell) 1788. | A series of “Historic facsimile maps”, issued by the Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives, range from those of the earliest explorations (e.g. Champlain’s of 1653), to early 20th century.

The three volume ''Historical Atlas of Canada'' is always helpful, the first volume showing early exploration and settlement, the second filled with social and economic data as well as genealogically useful information like the locations of British garrisons (Plate 24), Religious denominations (Plate 52) and the route of the Orange Day Parade in Saint John 1849 (Plate 58). Volume three moves into the 20th century with even more helpful social and economic information. | The three volume ''Historical Atlas of Canada'' is always helpful, the first volume showing early exploration and settlement, the second filled with social and economic data as well as genealogically useful information like the locations of British garrisons (Plate 24), Religious denominations (Plate 52) and the route of the Orange Day Parade in Saint John 1849 (Plate 58).
