The map at left is part of an English map of Acadia (called Nova Scotia by the British) an Nouvelle France (later Lower Canada), from about  1754, showing the Chinecto Isthmus and surrounding areas.  This map dates from after the burning and abandonment of the Beaubassin villages but before the fall of Fort Beausejour and the beginning of the expulsion of the Acadians in 1755.  The Mesagoueche (Missiquash) Point settlement of Beaubassin, where Pierre Arsenault and his descendants established their farm, was located where the British Fort Lawrence is shown on this map. At the time of this map, Joseph Arsenault was living near the village labelled Tantamar (Tintamarre to the French). For a larger version of the map, click here.
