#1) - A Plan of the Fort and Bay of Frontenac with the adjacent Counties 18 cm x 11 cm - page 552
A detailed map of the Northeast portion of Lake Ontario near the Iroquois River and Bay of Niaoure, Fort Frontenac and published during the French & Indian War. Fort Frontenac was built by the French in 1673. Until the American Revolution, the fort languished since the British considered other places more important for defence and trade. However, at the end of the revolutionary war, interest increased. Not only was it's strategic importance growing, but also as a resettlement for Loyalists. Fort Frontenac fell to the British in August 1758. Lieutenant-Colonel John Bradstreet led a force of a little over 3000 from Fort Oswego to attack the fort, which contained a garrison of 110 men, who surrendered and were allowed to leave. The fort's supplies and nine French naval vessels were sized, and much of the fort destroyed. Bradstreet quickly departed before any French relief forces could arrive. This map also locates the settlements of Kent and Ganaraske, the Toniata Village of Iroquois, the Catarackui River, Deer Island, the Bay of Niaoure and more.With cartouche and decorative compass.
