A few days ago I was browsing in the Historical Maps of Nova Scotia section of the Nova Scotia Archives website and found 14 maps of Amherst ranging from 1764-1992. The 1764 map of Amherst Township is a stunning watercolour version, much better than other maps I have been using. The lot numbers are written very clearly. There are two different Gmelin boundary lines drawn on the map with a note explaining when each was surveyed. If you have a deed for an early ancestor with a lot number on it, this map will be very helpful in locating the various divisions of the lot. I've added a link to the maps on the Cumberland County Map page under Resources and/or you can click on the link above.

AuthorHi there! My name is Mallory Burton and I started researching the Ripley family in 2011. I'd describe myself as a careful amateur who's more interested in story than names and dates. I hope you enjoy my website and blog. I also have a public Mallory/Ripley tree on Ancestry with over 4,000 names. To contact me, please comment on any one of my blog posts. Archives
