  • The Settler's Guide, 1898, Province of Quebec
    The EDITH WLORNE PIERCE COLLECTION of CANADIANA Queen's University at Kingston 1898 t The Settler's Guide. PROVINCE OF QUEBEC PREPARED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE HONORABLE S. N. PARENT, Commissioner of Lands, Forests and -Fisheries. \M, ig^S THE Province of Quebec (0 GENERAL VIEW The Province of Quebec is above all an agricultural country, a country for colonization, and it may be said that Nature has taken pleasure in pouring its favours upon it, for throughout it, Nature is everywhere grand : forests, mountains, lakes, rivers, splendid water- falls, innumerable water-powers, fertile islands, rich pastures, wild animals in great variety, etc. The soil of our country, and in particular that of the great colonization centres which we have yet to open up and people with hardy settlers, is of superior quality and eminently adapted for cultivation of all kinds. Our forests, which stretch endlessly, in all directions, and contain the most valuable woods, have been for years the object of constant and active operations. Wherever the settler goes, he will be almost sure to find on his lot timber suitable for building purposes, in quantities sufficient for the requirements of his farm. Our rivers and lakes, which long remained unknown now attract hundreds of sportsmen from all parts of America, who find both pleasure and profit in fishing for salmon, ouananiche, trout, pike, etc. As for our mineral resources, their development, which for some time has been neglected, dwing to the want of sufficient capital and accurate information, must soon be- come another important factor in our national wealth.

  • Preliminary Report on Causapscal Area (East Half), Matapedia Electoral District P
    RP 382(A) PRELIMINARY REPORT ON CAUSAPSCAL AREA (EAST HALF), MATAPEDIA ELECTORAL DISTRICT P. R. NO. 382 PROVINCE OF QUEBEC. CANADA DEPARTMENT OF MINES HON. W. M. COTTINGHAM, MINISTER GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS BRANCH PRELIMINARY REPORT ON CAUSAPSCAL AREA (EAST HALF) MATAPEDIA ELECTORAL DISTRICT BY C. W. STEARN QUEBEC 1959 P. R. NO. 382, PRELIMINARY REPORT on CAUSAPSCAL AREA (East Half) MATAPEDIA ELECTORAL DISTRICT by C. W. Stearn INTRODUCTION The east half of the Causapscal area was mapped by the writer during the summer of 1958. The area lies mainly on the east side of Matapédia river near the base of Gaspé_penin- sula. It is bounded by latitudes 48015' and 480301 , and by lon- gitudes 67°00' and 67°15' and includes about 200 square miles. Included within the area mapped are large parts of Casault, Le- page, La Vérendrye, and Casupscull townships and small parts of Blais, Assemetquagan, and Matalic townships. The area is easily reached by the Montreal-Hali- fax line of the Canadian National Railways and by Provincial Highway No. 6, both of which follow the Matapédia valley and pass through the southwestern part of the area. From the highway, gravel roads give ready access to nearly all parts of the region. Much of the area is farm land but the northeastern third is covered with dense woods. Numerous lumber roads and old trails traverse this wooded part in all directions but only a few are maintained in a condi- tion that permits travel by automobile. The land surface is a dissected upland. From points of vantage, such as the Casault Fire Tower which is built on the highest hill (1,870 feet), it appears to be formed of low, rolling hills with little relief.

  • Dyr: the Gaspesie
    CMG ROUTES, DISCOVER YOUR ROADS, TOURING DYR: THE GASPESIE JUNE 26, 2015 | EDITOR 'ARRIS | LEAVE A COMMENT | EDIT I know quite a few English speakers who get a little nervous about riding in Quebec. Most do not even have a marginal command of French and the thought of making an arse of themselves is enough to see them stick to the tedious highways and get through the province as quickly as possible. I can understand this, but if you are one of these riders, then let me implore you to take a chance. Grab a French phrase book, be prepared to ask for sautéed bull’s testicles when you really meant meatballs, but making this effort will generally see you greeted with a smile, some broken English and access to some of the best riding roads in eastern Canada. The Gaspésie Peninsula does not have many roads, but what it does have are pretty damn good. Courtesy Google maps. A prime example of a bucket-list worthy Quebec ride, is the Gaspésie peninsula. Situated on the south shore of the St Lawrence river where it merges into the Gulf of St Lawrence, the Gaspésie boasts some of Quebec’s best roads – both paved and gravel. It’s the size of Belgium but with a mere 140,000 inhabitants, mostly around the perimeter and on the south shore, it’s sparsely populated. The peninsula is the final thrust of the Appalachian Mountain chain, that extends all the way from Georgia. Sadly, few roads cut through the spectacularly hilly middle section, though adventurists can explore it via the extensive network of logging and ATV trails, as we did back in 2012.
