I have the crown maps for the whole county... 14 large sheets... the ones
I've posted, like Lakelands and Diligent River are details from the sheets...
I've added the area around New Prospect as well on the link at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~nscumber/cgmap51.html
Perhaps someone knows better than I what the maps, compiled in
the 1940's, if I recall correctly, actually represent and some history
behind the records. My take on it is that they are a visual representation
of the first grants... I don't know whether some or many of these were
never accepted or cleared and worked. I'd like to know more about them
myself...
The areas covered by each of the sheets can be seen at:

The are all available from the province of nova scotia...
