History
An important cartographic genre of the second half of the 19th century, the description of Canada was enriched with the appearance of the county map. Appearing at the time of agricultural and urban development, when few detailed representations of the settled regions existed, the county maps were popular because of their beauty, their detail and their close links with the local communities. Counties, townships, towns and villages, roads, buildings and the names of the owners or occupants of farms are shown. The maps also contain lists of businessmen and local merchants, insets of towns, and vignettes of major buildings of the county.
