Montreal region by Bouchette, 1831

Bouchette published several detailed maps of Lower Canada (Quebec). This particular map shows the lands in the old French seigneurial system and the new townships. The map was prepared in Canada but published in London because Canada did not yet have the capability to print such maps.
