Ambrose Church Map - Halifax
County, 1865
In 1864, Ambrose F. Church was commissioned by the
Nova Scotia legislature to create a series of maps, one for
each of Nova Scotia's 18 counties. Each shows the locations
of towns and villages, basic topographic features and the names
of residents. In many cases, the occupation of prominent townsfolk
(clergy, blacksmith, merchant) is also included. Mr. Church
completed the series in 1888.
Copies of the county maps are available from
the Nova Scotia Department
