2) 'Plan of the whole of the Location of the Bruce Mines the property of the Montreal Mining Company containing 6400 Acres.' Lithograph. |
| Administrative History | The maps accompanied Geological Survey of Canada, 'Report on the North Shore of Lake Huron' [by William E Logan], (1849). This was issued alongside the Geological Survey of Canada, 'Report of Progress for the year 1847-1848' [by William E Logan], (1849). |
| CustodialHistory | The maps were in the Rare Book collection, bound with the illustrated plates of Charles Jackson's survey of Maine (1837) and Edward Hitchcock's survey of Massachusetts (1835). The binding had broken down leaving the contents in very poor condition and torn. Following conservation, the maps were flattened. For storage purposes they were therefore transferred to archive collection, January 2026. |
