Three sections of this map were published in _Atlas Historique du Canada
Français_ by Marcel Trudel, published by Les Presses de l'Université Laval,
in 1961.   The three sections are ... région de Québec (which includes east
and west of the city and all of Isle D'Orleans, ... région des Trois
Rivières, and ... région du Lac Saint-Pierre.  Each of these three range
from 8.5 to 9.5 inches high by 15 inches wide.  In addition, Trudel has
included an enlargement titled Bourg-Royal which includes Quebec City,
Charlebourg and Beauport.  The names on the three folding maps are very hard
to read sometimes even with a magnifying glass.  The first of the three
states below the map "... conservée au Ministère des Terres et Forêts de la
Province de Québec."

I could send you photocopies of the maps from the atlas but that may not be
what is required.
