NEW BRUNSWICK OFFICIAL MAPS

 

Notes:

 

The [c.1925] map shows all of the main roads of the whole province and on the right side is printed ” Road Map of New Brunswick Issued by Road Depm’nt. Department of Public Works P. J. Veniot – Minister.” P. J. Venoit was the Minister of Public Works from Nov. 5, 1917 until Sept. 10, 1925. During this time, he became known as “Good Roads Veniot” and aggressively pursued a road building program.

 

Maps from 1928-30 were titled “Official Government Highway map.” From 1931-1946 maps were titled “Official Government Map.” The 1935B & 1936B maps were titled “Official Road Map.”

 

A version of the 2002 map was also done in cooperation with the Maine Tourism Association (Nova Scotia map on one side, New Brunswick on the other, with two covers).
