Notes on the Crown Grant Map
The 'Crown Grant Map' provided by the Province of New Brunswick is a flawed document to say the least. First, it is based on the idea of providing the first grant that can be traced to modern deeds. Thus it ignores previous grantees. Second, it has errors in determining who is the grantee in the above case. If you follow it as an accurate record instead of a 'pointer' towards documents, you will get into trouble...
 
One example is the Oak Bay Grant, Lot 89, of 'John McIntosh', which should read John McMillan. see text
 
As St. David falls at the corners of four panels, the one on this site was pieced together. The original maps did not exactly match up, so in places the joints are visible.
