----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear Joanne You'll find a black and white facsimile in 8 sheets in _North America at the time of the Revolution: A collection of eighteenth century maps with an introduction by Louis De Vorsey Jr., Part II_, published by Harry Margary in 1974. The assembled map is 54 x 76 in. If you don't have a copy I'm sure the University of Oregon would have. A colour facsimile in two sheets was produced by the Canadian Government about 1926 I think. It measures 38 x 54 in. and is easily readable. Nowhere does it indicate who did it or when it was done, but it seems to belong to a set of maps reproduced in conjunction with the Quebec-Labrador boundary dispute. Two versions of the map were reproduced, a regular version, and the "King George" map, which I think is sometimes referred to as the "red line" version. I have both sheets of the latter but only the east sheet of the former. The area your patron wants is on the west sheet of this reproduction. The University of British Columbia probably has a copy of these two maps which you could probably request on ILL. I'm sure that will solve your problem but if not please let me know.
