Meacham\u2019s Atlas, 1880<\/strong>. This atlas contains maps of all lots, along with illustrations of significant buildings and citizens, maps of towns and villages, and lists of businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, since the focus is on property ownership, there is little detail along the coasts, so it is not clear if the prevalence of \u201csandy beach\u201d, for instance, reflects absence of dunes due to storms (1851, 1973) or lack of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meacham\u2019s maps can be found on UPEI’s Island Imagined<\/em> website, but have also been georeferenced in GeoPEI: PEI Historical Maps, Geospatial Research in Atlantic Canadian History, The GeoREACH Lab, UPEI.

Cundall, 1903<\/strong>. Revision of 1852 Wright (and 1861 Cundall)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No digitized copies are available of this map, but the GeoREACH Lab has an original hard copy. Edits include the steamship line between Summerside and Charlottetown, plus placenames, roads, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Wright and Bayfield are credited, it is unclear if any further coastal surveying was done, since the shoreline would have had significant reconfiguration in the intervening decades. For example, Bowley Pond still opens to the SW, with no corrections by either Cundall or Bayfield (who lived in PEI until 1895). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
