In his book entitled \" Rawdon : 175 ans d\u2019histoire<\/a> \"<\/em>, (Rawdon: 175 Years of History), Marcel Fournier reproduced, on page 29, a plan with the following title: Plan of the river Lac Ouareau for the captains Grant and Dunbar\u00a0\u00bb. <\/em>This map was reportedly filed in the fall of 1789 and may be consulted in the Registre des demandes de terre 1789-1830 (Register of land petitions 1789-1830) <\/em>available at the Archives nationales du Qu\u00e9bec (Quebec national archives).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Still in Marcel Fournier\u2019s book, he refers to a plan drawn by the surveyor William Fortune dated January 7, 1793, and filed on May 3, 1793. This plan was included with a land petition submitted by Captain Bt. Roorback. This petition is mentioned on page 308 of appendix II in the book entitled \" La colonisation de la province de Qu\u00e9bec 1791-1815\" by Ivanho\u00eb Caron.<\/em> Just like for the plan drawn by the surveyor Rankin, it was not possible to get a digitized copy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This diagram of ranges 1 and 2 of the township of Rawdon, drawn around 1795, even before the township was officially recognized, identifies the lots reserved for the Crown and the Clergy as well as the people who were granted the lots. A preamble to this diagram indicates the instructions provided to the surveyor.<\/p>

Daniel Parkinson transcribed the text preceding this diagram of the township of Rawdon. The text informs us that, according to His Majesty\u2019s instructions, every township must be subdivided into lots of 200 acres before any grant of land can be made. The instructions provided to the surveyor describe the work to be performed.<\/p>

Instructions for the surveyor (transcribed by Daniel Parkinson)<\/strong><\/p>

In due obedience to His Majesty\u2019s Instructions, every Township ought to be subdivided into lots of Two hundred acres, according to the Diagram D or E, before any grant can be made therein, in order to ascertain the true scites [sic] of the reservations for the maintenance of a Protestant Clergy, and the reservations for the future disposition of the Crown.<\/p>

This Tract, as may be seen by the Surveyor General\u2019s note at the foot of this Plan, has not been subdivided; and yet, a Patent has passed for lots therein to several grantees.<\/p>

The reservations can never be found but by actual admeasurement, marking the corners by Posts of durable wood, six inches square at least; and by blazing or marking the trees nearest to the corners, with letters deeply cut with a K for the Crown lots and with a C for the Church lots.<\/p>

This is one of the Original conditions to be perform\u2019d by the Applicants for lands in any Township, prior to the passing of any Patent for any portion of the land in that Township.<\/p>

It might be expedient to lay down a rule, that no further grant shall be made of land in any Township set apart for those who may have obtained orders for specific quantities (1), until a return of the admeasurement of the outlines at least, actually run & made in the field, shall have been regu \u2026 y \u2026 the Surveyor General\u2019s Office by a Surveyor duly admitted & sworn; in which return shall be inserted, a plain and clear description of the manner in which the four corners of the Township have been marked, and likewise every other angle occurring in running the outlines, whether by strong Posts of durable wood, or by Posts surrounded by stones, or otherwise permanent marks readily to be found, and easily ascertained.<\/p>

In the case of the Outlines of a Township having been accurately run, and the depth of every range of Lots exactly marked by posts, and numbered in the field, the subdivision might in such case be made in the drawing room in the Surveyor\u2019s Office. If the front line of Rawdon has been really run, together with the side lines and the back boundary line, measuring each Eight hundred Chains, the subdivision may be accurately made in the closet [sic[2]];<\/p>

If the front line of Rawdon has been really run, together with the side lines and the back boundary line, measuring each Eight hundred Chains, the subdivision may be accurately made in the closet [sic(2)]; but should an offer be made for a Lease of the Church lots; or if Government should incline to sell the whole of the lots reserved for the Crown in Rawdon, their scite [sic] could not be ascertained without an actual survey, and subdivision & marking the corners of the lots intended for sale.<\/p>

(1) Concerning \u201c\u2026 apart for those who may have obtained orders for specific quantities,\u201d Daniel Parkinson writes\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0that he believes this refers to negotiations by Captain Ralph Henry Bruyeres, of His Majesty\u2019s Corps of Engineers, and Dr. George Selby, the heirs of Captain William Dunbar who had been granted 3,000 acres in 1789. It was confirmed, in detail, in 1805 after Holland\u2019s 1795 survey and included what would become Rawdon\u2019s first range, lots 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 & 11, and second range, lots 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 (later the Parish of Sainte-Julienne). George McBeath asked for 3,000 acres and was granted the 500 marked on this map.<\/p>

(2) Daniel Parkinson uses the term sic in brackets, after a word, showing that it is quoted exactly as in the original text, indicating some spelling or typographical particularity.<\/p>

(3) To find out more about McBeath, see footnote 2 on page 337 in the updates to Daniel Parkinson\u2019s book on Daniel\u2019s UP TO RAWDON website.

Diagramme du Canton de Rawdon (1804)<\/strong><\/p>

Retrouv\u00e9e sur le site web du \u00ab Greffe de l\u2019Arpenteur-G\u00e9n\u00e9ral du Qu\u00e9bec \u00bb, cette carte intitul\u00e9e \u00ab Diagram of the Township of Rawdon \u00bb constituerait probablement la premi\u00e8re carte compl\u00e8te du Canton de Rawdon \u00e0 une \u00e9chelle de 80 cha\u00eenes au pouce.

Une version l\u00e9g\u00e8rement diff\u00e9rente de cette carte, sign\u00e9e par Joseph Bouchette, est reproduite par Daniel Parkinson dans son livre \u00ab Up to Rawdon \u00bb<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Une note explicative pr\u00e9cise que le Canton a \u00e9t\u00e9 subdivis\u00e9 en 11 rangs \u00e0 \u00e9quidistance de 72 cha\u00eenes 72 chainons num\u00e9rot\u00e9s du sud-est au nord-ouest de 1 \u00e0 11 inclusivement. Ces rangs ont \u00e9t\u00e9 subdivis\u00e9s en 28 lots de 28 chaines 57 chainons de large par 72 cha\u00eenes 72 chainons de profond num\u00e9rot\u00e9s du sud-ouest vers le nord-est de 1 \u00e0 28 inclusivement.<\/p>

Comme ces cha\u00eenes et chainons ne sont pas tout \u00e0 fait \u00e9vidents, voici quelques informations qui aideront \u00e0 comprendre. La cha\u00eene mesure 66 pieds et est divis\u00e9e en 100 chainons\u2026.ce qui fait que chaque rang est situ\u00e9 \u00e0 une distance de 4800 pieds l\u2019un de l\u2019autre. Comme il y a 11 rangs, le canton mesure donc 52\u00a0800 pieds soit exactement 10 milles. Les 28 lots mesurent 28 cha\u00eenes 57 chainons de large ce qui permet de calculer la largeur d\u2019un rang \u00e0 ce m\u00eame 52\u00a0800 pieds ou 10 milles. En multipliant la largeur du lot par sa profondeur, chaque lot contient environ 200 acres (mesure encore utilis\u00e9e pour les superficies de grandes \u00e9tendues de terre). En termes plus modernes, le Canton de Rawdon mesure donc 17,6 kilom\u00e8tres par 17,6 kilom\u00e8tres tandis qu\u2019un lot cadastral contiendra environ 80 hectares.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This map drawn to a scale of 40 chains to one inch is the first complete map of the township of Rawdon. A chain is an Imperial system unit of measure that can be equal to either 66 or 100 feet, depending on the period. The English township was subdivided into 11 ranges of 28 lots. Each of these lots had an area of 200 acres. The township measured 10 miles by 10 miles.<\/p>

This map from 1821 identifies the roads, rivers and certain lakes on the territory as well as the location where Phil\u00e9mon Dugas settled.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

This map was drawn to a scale of 40 chains to one inch following the surveying of the ninth, tenth and eleventh ranges of the township of Rawdon by James Dignan in September, October and November 1844. This map identifies roads, including those leading to Wexford and to the augmentation of Kildare, the Dorwin and squatters\u2019 forestry chantier roads, a few lakes and the Desrochers grist mill. An annotation on the west side of the 9e<\/sup> range mentions \u201cold line,\u201d which would justify this new surveying of the last lots of the township.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The first in a series of three, this plan of the village of Rawdon was drawn by the surveyor James Dignan following a survey performed in November and December 1844. An article by Daniel Parkinson tells us more about this surveyor and his family, originally from Ireland. Drawn to a scale of 10 chains to an inch, this map locates the Lacquarreau (Ouareau) River and the Red (Rouge) River. It also provides the geographic coordinates delimiting the territory of the village that was starting to take shape. Probably for land planning purposes, this plan subdivides part of the original lot (lot 17, range 5) into smaller-sized parcels and draws streets from Mill Street (now 1st<\/sup> Avenue) to St. Patrick Street (now 6th<\/sup> Avenue) and between the two rivers, namely, the Ouareau River and the Rouge River.<\/p>

This 1844 survey was performed by
James Dignan, D.P.S., an Irish-born surveyor whose name
appears on the 1851 and 1871 censuses in Berthier. He died in
Berthierville on March 28, 1872, at the age of 73. Fournier incorrectly names him Dignam and, in material found in BAnQ, he is named Dingman, a
a cataloguing or clerical error. His nephew, Frederick Patrick Dignan, born in
County Meath, became a priest in Saint-Hyacinthe in 1868 and was a witness at
at his uncle\u2019s burial. The Reverend Dignan had been brought to Canada by
his uncle and is buried in Saint-Philippe-de-Windsor-Mills, his parish church. His 1895 burial registration gives the family history (source: Drouin index). <\/span><\/p>

is well represented in BAnQ. He surveyed the 9th, 10th and 11th ranges of the township of
Rawdon en 1844, localisant les lacs et les \u00a0\u00bb chemins de squatters \u00a0\u00bb qui existaient avant que les colons ne soient oblig\u00e9s de d\u00e9fricher des routes.
Dignan (aka Dingman) completed many survey maps, and one can find Cathcart, Chertsey
Daillebout [sic] and Ramsay, Saint-Gabriel-de-Brandon and others as early as 1832 in the archives.<\/span><\/p>

Ce premier arpentage d’une partie du lot 17 du cinqui\u00e8me rang (canton de Rawdon) trace et nomme les rues et attribue les num\u00e9ros de lots. Les lettres indiquant les rangs sont ajout\u00e9es sur une des cartes suivantes. Le nord-ouest se trouve en haut \u00e0 gauche de chaque carte. La premi\u00e8re rue est nomm\u00e9e Saint Patrick, en l’honneur de la congr\u00e9gation majoritairement irlandaise de la paroisse catholique romaine nouvellement fond\u00e9e. Le dernier p\u00e2t\u00e9 de maisons est marqu\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Roman Catholic Church\u00a0\u00bb. Ce terrain a \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9 par l’agent des terres de la Couronne Thomas Griffith en 1836 pour y accueillir un cimeti\u00e8re destin\u00e9 \u00e0 la population catholique du canton. Griffith avait esp\u00e9r\u00e9 revendiquer la totalit\u00e9 du lot 5\/17 pour lui-m\u00eame, mais il n’y est pas parvenu. (Voir <\/span>Thomas Griffith, Crown Agent <\/span><\/i>in the book UP TO RAWDON, Part One). Marcel Fournier (in Rawdon, 175 Ans d'Histoire<\/i>) recounts the complicated story of the founding of the <\/span>paroisse \u00e0 partir de 1833, sous plusieurs noms diff\u00e9rents, avant qu’elle ne devienne Saint Patrick – l’\u00e9v\u00eaque s’\u00e9tait prononc\u00e9 contre Saint Patrick, le premier choix de la communaut\u00e9 irlandaise. Fournier situe la chapelle \u00ab\u00a0sur le site du cimeti\u00e8re actuel\u00a0\u00bb, on suppose qu’il s’agit du terrain c\u00e9d\u00e9 par l’agent en 1836. <\/span><\/div>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In the row of lots where the Red River crosses the edge of the village, one
porte la mention \u00a0\u00bb Rev’d Jno. Milton \u00ab\u00a0. John L. Milton \u00e9tait le titulaire anglican en 1834 \u2013 1836. Il semble que ce terrain lui ait \u00e9t\u00e9 octroy\u00e9 personnellement. (En 1844 et 1845, lorsque les cartes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 dessin\u00e9es,
Rowland Bourne was the minister, who succeeded C. P. Reid in 1836-1837.) In the row below, there is a block of ten lots in the name of John Jefferies, a prominent early land owner and businessman (read UP TO RAWDON, Part One, about him and his second wife: <\/span>John Jefferies, Butcher and Nancy Bridge<\/span><\/i>). East of that is a block of ten lots in the name of the Lord Bishop of Quebec reserved for the Anglican church and cemetery, replacing those of the Forks. (See <\/span>Christ Church Early Days<\/span><\/i>, in UP TO RAWDON, Part Two.)

T<\/strong>his second plan of the village of Rawdon, dated January 1845, was prepared in Berthier by the surveyor James Dignan, and it bears his signature. Drawn to a scale of 5 chains to an inch, this plan complements the one prepared in late 1844 with the addition of some colours. A remark included on this second plan concerning the \u201cirregular\u201d lots suggests that the \u201cregular\u201d (square) lots had an area of one square acre, or about 208 feet by 208 feet. As a historical reminder, an acre measured one chain (66 feet) by one furlong (660 feet), that is, 43,560 square feet. This second plan adds several items of information to the previous version, including the areas of the \u201cirregular\u201d lots, the roads that went through the territory, the locations of the boundaries and the owners of certain lots. The areas of the irregular lots are given in \u201cacres, roods, perches\u201d under the abbreviation a. r. p., with 4 roods per acre and 40 perches per rood. Even if the municipality of Rawdon now has a slightly different shape, there is reason to believe that James Dignan\u2019s work largely influenced the current configuration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This colour map of the village was signed by James Dignan D.P.S. [sic \u2013 not Dignam or Dingman] on January 9, 1845, with annotations indicating elevation, creeks and rivers.
A note on this plan indicates that it was surveyed and subdivided in November and December 1845. It is clear, however, that certain additions were made at a later date (see note 1).
<\/span><\/p>

Les intervalles alphab\u00e9tiques sont plus clairs mais la lettre \u00ab\u00a0F\u00a0\u00bb a \u00e9t\u00e9 omise. Une \u00e9chelle de 5 cha\u00eenes au pouce a \u00e9t\u00e9\u00a0 utilis\u00e9e.<\/span><\/p>

At lots 19 and 20 of columns A and B are
the Catholic Church, the presbytery (presbyt\u00e8re in French in the English text)
the English text) and the school house, on a lot of 2 acres by 2 acres, or 4 acres.<\/span><\/p>

Lots 19 and 20 of columns C and D are the property of James Daly.<\/span><\/p>

A smithy (the blacksmith is not identified) is located along the road on lot C-18.<\/span><\/p>

Sur le lot D-16 \u2013 L\u2019annotation en langue anglaise \u00ab\u00a0old dwelling house, unoccupied\u00a0\u00bb indique qu\u2019une vieille
unoccupied house is set back from the road. <\/span><\/p>

Across Fourth
rue, le nom de \u00ab\u00a0Willm Walsh\u00a0\u00bb apparait au lot E-15. Un certain William
Walsh buried in Christ Church Cemetery, but
he was living in Sainte-Julienne in 1861. Daniel Parkinson specifies that this
is the William Welsh [sic] from Lismore, County Waterford, who married Jane Daly in 1840 at St. Patrick\u2019s Church. <\/span><\/p>

Nearby on lot D-15 is Widow Bagnall. Harriet Pigott was the widow of the merchant Robert Bagnall, formerly of Tullamore, King\u2019s County; see <\/span>Bagnall, Blagrave & Pigott: Family Connections <\/span><\/i>in the book UP TO RAWDON. Part One. Mrs. Bagnall also held lot D-14.<\/span><\/p>

The 10 acres on either side of the Red River are still marked for the Reverend Jno. Milton.<\/span><\/p>

Colonel Griffiths [sic] had
a house located on lot E-11. He had five lots from E-10 to E-14,
as mentioned on page 315 of the chapter referenced in an earlier section.<\/span><\/p>

La rue \u00ab\u00a0Mill Street \u2013 en anglais sur le plan ou rue du Moulin\u00a0\u00bb est situ\u00e9e au bas de la carte avec les lots portant le num\u00e9ro 1\u00a0; il y a une \u00ab\u00a0borne en pierre\u00a0\u00bb annot\u00e9e \u00e0 chaque extr\u00e9mit\u00e9. Nous avons consult\u00e9 l’arpenteur Paul Melan\u00e7on qui nous a indiqu\u00e9 qu’il s’agissait de bornes plac\u00e9es par M. Dignan aux quatre coins du territoire arpent\u00e9. La rue Mill suit ensuite la rivi\u00e8re Lacqurreau [sic] jusqu’au moulin Dorwin \u00ab\u00a0Dorwin’s Mill sur le plan\u00a0\u00bb. <\/span><\/p>

Le lot num\u00e9ro E-1 est identifi\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Medard Tremblay\u00a0\u00bb. Il y avait une famille avec ce nom de famille au lot 10 du quatri\u00e8me rang qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 accord\u00e9 \u00e0 un Joseph Tremblay en 1836. Rasy (Rostine ?) Trambles [sic] un menuisier \u00e9tait locataire \u00e0 cette adresse en 1831. M\u00e9dard Tremblay a fait baptiser une fille \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9glise St-Patrick en 1843. Les \u00e9v\u00e9nements enregistr\u00e9s \u00e0 St-Jacques pour Joseph et M\u00e9dard Tremblay pourraient l’avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 pour ces familles.<\/span><\/p>

Henri L\u00e9pine is identified on lot G-1. The names L\u00e9pine and Lapine are indicated on the old map of the township of Rawdon, each with 50 acres on the second range. Charles L\u00e9pine was a carpenter in the village (1852 Census).<\/span><\/p>

William Grigg is identified on lot H-1. He may be a relative of Reuben Grigg who signed settlers\u2019 petition in 1828 and who is named in the 1831 Census, or perhaps William is related to Isaac Grigg from Somerset, England, who was a blacksmith and who moved with relatives, in late 1851, to Huron County, Ontario, where a William Grigg was a blacksmith in Clinton, Huron County. Many references to the Griggs are found in the book UP TO RAWDON.<\/span><\/p>

On lot I-1, Augustin Chalifoux was a journeyman, and he had a son baptized at St. Patrick\u2019s Church in 1844. Xavier
Tremblay was the godfather. Joseph Chalifoux is identified on lot S21 of the third range in the 1861 Census of Rawdon. These men were related and have descendants in Rawdon today.<\/span><\/p>

From research not included in the book UP TO RAWDON: between April 1846 and June 1848, village lots were purchased by James Armstrong*, James Daly, Hugh Daly, Jedediah H. Dorwin, Patrick Carroll, John Kite, James Cunningham, Harriet Bagnall, Daniel McGarry, William Walsh, Isaac Grigg and Thomas Griffith. (Appendix DDD to an address to the Legislative Assembly, Crown Land Department, Montr\u00e9al, February 28, 1849).<\/span><\/p>

* Information about names not on the village map: James Armstrong was a tavern keeper on lot 21 S of the third range in 1831. He was a Protestant and is only partly identified in the book UP TO RAWDON. Hugh Daly may be the man identified in the 1824 Statistical Survey and perhaps the man who died at 85 in 1875 and one of the members of the large Daly family in Rawdon. <\/span>The story <\/span>J. H. <\/span><\/i>Dorwin<\/span>: He Tried to Put Rawdon on the Map <\/span><\/i>is found in the book UP TO RAWDON, Part One. <\/span>Patrick Carroll was a son of original settler John Carroll on lot 17 of the seventh range. John Kite was one of the earliest settlers, c. 1819; see <\/span>\u201cKite of Wiltshire and Rawdon\u201d <\/span><\/i>in the book UP TO RAWDON, Part One. James Cunningham and his wife Mary Topping were Irish Protestants whose descendants are mentioned in the book UP TO RAWDON. Daniel McGarry was Irish, a cordwainer (shoemaker) identified in the 1852 Census of Rawdon, who had children baptized in the 1850s at Christ Church.<\/span><\/p>

In addition, the Grants Book shows lots granted to J. C. Milton and the Anglican Church in 1839 and 1840, John Jeffries in 1845, Bernard McManus in 1846, the Municipality of Leinster and the Municipality of Rawdon in 1849 and 1852, James Cunningham, Patrick Carroll, Jedediah H. Dorwin, James Daly and William Norrish*. It is not clear if the duplicate names are for the same or additional lots.<\/span><\/p>

* The story \u201cWilliam Norrish: Survivor\u201d<\/i> in the book UP TO RAWDON presents him as a man of determination.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

T<\/strong>This third plan of the village of Rawdon, dated April 17, 1845, was drawn by the Surveyor General\u2019s Office in Montr\u00e9al. It is a cleaned-up version, still to a scale of 5 chains to an inch, of the map prepared in January of the same year by James Dignan. There is reason to believe that this plan bearing the seal of the Crown Land Department would become the official version for the constitution of the village of Rawdon. A few changes can be noted in relation to the January version prepared by Dignan. The configuration of Commissioner Street and Lacquarreau Street is changed on this later plan, as Lacquarreau Street is moved and a new street named Adelaide is added. Also, Mill Street is now identified as Front Street on this plan.<\/p>

Actually, in Rawdon, the streets have become avenues. Commissioner Street (rue des Commissaires) would run only between 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup> Avenue, while Adelaide Street would go only from 5th<\/sup> Avenue halfway to 4th<\/sup> Avenue. As well, 2nd + <\/sup>3e <\/sup>Avenues would never get to the Ouareau River from Metcalfe Street. Lastly, it seems likely that the avenues are not located exactly where determined by the surveyor Dignan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This diagram is credited to the Surveyor General\u2019s Office in Montr\u00e9al and is dated April 17, 1845. It is clearly a copy of the 1844 map (previously identified), but the scale is 5 chains to an inch and letters were added for the rows of lots from east to west, starting with A in the northeast corner and going up to M in the northwest corner; they are mostly, but not always, in alphabetical order. The rivers are in blue. <\/span><\/p>\n

This map of the township of Rawdon was used by William Holtby Jr., Secretary-Treasurer of the Township of Rawdon, to record the owners of lots around 1845. This map has travelled extensively. Holtby\u2019s descendants first settled in Waverly, Minnesota, and later in Los Angeles, Seattle and Denver. The map was finally brought back through Daniel Parkinson, a descendant of William Holtby Jr. living in Toronto, and returned to the Municipality of Rawdon in 2022.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Greffe de l\u2019arpenteur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du Qu\u00e9bec is a public register used to record, maintain and disseminate all documents prepared under the authority of the Surveyor General of Quebec. These documents serve to represent the parcelling of the lands in the domain of the State and to reestablish the limits of surveys in the townships, among other things.<\/p>

An interactive map available at: https:\/\/appli.foncier.gouv.qc.ca\/gagq<\/a> (in French only) allows users to find the different territorial subdivisions, including primitive surveys and the cadastre of Quebec.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The designer of the Chroniques anachroniques website (https:\/\/montrealbb.ca\/) developed an interactive historical map<\/strong> of Chertsey in 2018 that now extends to the Lanaudi\u00e8re region: https:\/\/montrealbb.ca\/carte-historique-lanaudiere\/ (in French only). This map has many layers. For the territory of the municipality of Rawdon, it lists, among other things, the owners of the original lots as they appeared in Daniel Parkinson\u2019s transcription of the Holtby map.<\/p>

This interactive map uses\" open-source software<\/strong> for sharing geographical data, called Open Street Map<\/em>. As indicated on the Chroniques anachroniques website, it is easier to access the different controls of the map on the website OpenStreetMap<\/em> : http:\/\/u.osmfr.org\/m\/643883\/<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
