Description
John Spry Morris, Surveyor General, Map of part of the Indian Lands in Nova Scotia, 1842 – Annapolis County (1842). "Plan for Reserve for Indians at Bear River in the county of Annapolis."
Indian Commissioner Joseph Howe's first "Report on Indian Affairs" [see Journals of the House of Assembly 25 January 1843, Appendix 1, p. 3] states that Howe had received plans of Mi'kmaq Reserves in Nova Scotia from the Surveyor General and copied them into his note book [RG 1 v. 432]. Original map comprises nine individual plans on one sheet, each signed by John Spry Morris, Surveyor General, 20 May 1842. Howe's copies are embedded in narrative descriptions of his thoughts and encounters as he visited each reservation. An earlier and similar version of the original Surveyor General's map may be viewed on microfilm no. 14011. ~ NSARM
