Canada East or Lower Canada and New Brunswick — 1855 Colton Map
Twelve years before Confederation, there was no Quebec province on the map. There was Canada East, the former Lower Canada, joined to Canada West in a single fractious Province of Canada, with New Brunswick still a separate British colony next door. This 1855 Colton map of Canada East captures that arrangement exactly as American mapmakers understood it, carrying the full engraved title “Canada East or Lower Canada and New Brunswick.”
J.H. Colton & Co. of New York produced it for the atlas trade, and its coverage runs across the settled south: the St. Lawrence valley below Montreal and Quebec City, the Eastern Townships, the Gaspe, and the New Brunswick interior down to the Bay of Fundy.
