Photocopy in 11 sections of original located at the Archives of Ontario; H3/400/1786/11 sections/copy 1 of 2 not to be filmed.
This map is sometimes known as the "Loyalist Map". It is described by Judge Pringle of Cornwall in the 1884 Archives Report. An additional copy is reported by Hugh P. MacMillan, R.R. /1, Alexandria, Ont. to be the Bishop's Palace at Alexandria. Original - Ontario Archives. This entry comes from: Loyalist Settlements 1783-1789 (NMC G 1146 .E27 L69 1985 fol.) (written by Joan Winearls): PLATE 2 "A Pla[n of part of the] New Settlements on the North bank of the South-west branc[h of the St. L]aurence River, commencing near Point au Bodett on La[ke St. Fra]ncis and extending westerly along the said North bank to the west boundary of [Township No.] 5. Laid down from: the Latest Surveys & observations By [Signed] Patrick McNiff November the 1st, 1786."
Col. MS. 71 x 326 cm. Scale 1" to 40 chains. Archives of Ontario, Map Collection: (Survey Records Micro. No. 11081). Patrick McNiff's plan of 1786 shows the survey of the first six townships along the St. Lawrence river beginning at the boundary with Quebec (Lake township now Lancaster and townships 1 -5 now respectively Charlottenburgh, Cornwall, Osnabruck, Williamsburgh and Matilda). After exploratory surveys in 1783 by Captain Sherwood and others, McNiff began assembling a party of military personnel in early 1784 to begin the survey. Lieut. Kotte laid out part of the first townships and the front concessions of the others were completed in that year.
In June 1785 McNiff was instructed by Collins to lay out the front of the 2nd and 3rd concessions of Lancaster township, and the front of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th concessions in Osnabruck, Williamsburgh, and Matilda with road allowances between concessions and "taking care to set up two posts at proper distances in the division line between each Lot, to serve as a government to the inhabitants to divide their lands". He was also instructed to lay out a road along the front of the townships (shown on the map), as near the lake as possible. These townships were also on a 'single-front system' with 200 acre lots but the concessions were about 37 lots wide and the townships were eventually extended to 8 or 9 concessions deep. By the spring of 1785 McNiff reported that all the settlers were on their land.
In early 1786 he was appointed surveyor in charge of the first eight townships and he prepared this map to summarize the survey and settlement that had taken place. The roughness of the map and the dotted lines for the fronts of concessions suggests the primitive nature of these early surveys. Indeed in June 1785 Collins reported that a plan of the Township of Cornwall was the only one regularly surveyed all others having only the front lines marked and a picket at the end of lots.

On the transcript, Bodett is spelt "Baudett". South west appears as "Smith west" on all copies. One blueprint filed 14 May 1884 by Alexander McDonald, Registrar. Another copy filed 30th Oct. 1854 by G.C. Wood.
