Known as the "Murray map".

Of the seven manuscript maps produced under this surveying project of the St. Lawrence valley (known as the "Murray Maps"), five have survived: two are preserved at Library and Archives Canada (the Board of Ordnance copy, described herein, and James Murray's personal copy - NMC 135035 to NMC 135078; 4134077); two at the British Library (George III and William Pitt's copies); and one at the Clements Library, University of Michigan (the said Thomas Gage copy).
There are four titles on this map:

1 - Plan of that part of Canada and the River St. Lawrence which lies between the Coteau des Cedres, the uppermost settlements of Canada and the Island of St. Therese containing the Island of Montreal, Isle Jesus, Isle Bisare, Isle Perault, &c. the lakes of St. Louis, les deux Montagnes &c. formed by the River St. Lawrence, the City of Montreal, all the villages, [fortified posts], habitations, and cultivated country throughout the whole extent. The whole from a survey carried on under the [directions] of the honourable brigadier general Murray governour of Quebec &c.

2 - Continuation of the River Chaudiere from where it falls into the St. Lawrence as laid down on the lower plan to the village of St. Marie or Nouvelle Beauce and of the River Etchemin as far as the village of St. Henri with the road and communication from St. Henri to the ferry of Sartignan. Surveyed by Lieut. Haldimand of the Royal American Regt.

3 - Plan of that part of Canada and the River St. Lawrence which lies between Dechambeaux and Pointe du Lac on the north shore, Lotbiniere and St. Therese on the south, in which the town of Trois Rivieres and all the villages, habitations, and cultivated country in that extent are accurately laid down. The whole from a survey carried on under the direction of the honour brigadier general Murray governour of Quebec.

4 - Plan of that part of Canada and the River St. Lawrence which lies between Cape Torment and Dechambeaux on the North shore, Point de la Caille and Lotbiniere on the South, in which the City of Quebec and all the villages, habitations and cultivated country in that extent are accurately laid down, with all the different places of landing and embarkation, the encampments, entrenchments, lines of battle and principal movements of the British and French armies while this country was a seat of war.
The whole from a survey carried under the direction of the honourable brigadier general Murray governour of Quebec &c.
Report for the year 1921 (1919 to 1921), Map Division, p. 11: "A detailed survey of the St. Lawrence, made by order of Governor Murray in the year 1760-1-2, presented by the Admiralty has also been received. It is virtually a replica of part of the map known as the Murray survey [NMC 17350], but being made in section bound together is more adaptable to reference [NMC 135035 to NMC 135078]."
