1874 Cadastral, Lower and Upper Kintore
I copied this map from the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick when they came up to the Gathering of the Scots in 2018. We have seen about 6 different cadastrals that cover this area. Stonehaven Settlement is the area to the south of Lower Kintore–it is now called Kincardine and Bonaccord. Here is the Stonehaven Settlement cadastral.

145th Amazing Race, 18 Aug, Starts 1PM
(Colony scavenger hunt by vehicle)
Starts at Burns Hall at 1PM on Aug 18th.
“This amazing race will be like no other. This will be a test of how observant, skilled and knowledgeable you are! Having the ability to follow directions will be an asset because you will be receiving clues as you continue on the journey. You will go to places where you have never been, and do things you may never have done before as well as learn some history of the Scottish Settlers. Take your time and enjoy the scenery along the way. You will have questions to answer so pay attention to details. If you are not sure of the answers make an educated guess. Most of all enjoy your journey.”

Colony cadastral, interactive version
Zoomed view. Click image to go to map.
Scotch Colony area view. Click image to go to map.
This is the same combined map from NB Dept of Lands and Mines I had in an earlier post, but now it’s interactive – overlayed on Google Maps.
Zoom (controls in lower right) and scroll (drag mouse). Remove overlay for a better view of the underlying satellite photo.
It may take a while for the overlay to appear. It’s a big file.
The overlay is misaligned near the edges. Look at the underlying photo for roads, fields, and clearcuts to reorient lot lines.
The original cadastral images were downloaded from the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick. I still don’t know what time period is represented on the maps. Probably after 1880 to 1980.
What’s next?
