SAMUEL TITCOMB'S RETURN OF THE SURVEY OF "A return of the survey of the main north branch of the river Scoodic which empties into the Bay of Passamaquody, together with the survey of Eight Townships, bounding easterly by sd. River, southerly by the lakes, westerly by Messrs. Maynards, & Hollands survey, as follows, Viz: Beginning at the place where I closed the survey, of said River in the year 1792, being at a point of land, near the outlet of Omquememkeeg Lake, thence continued the survey northerly through the North Bay, of said lake to the most northerly inlet thereof, being a river about ten rods wide at the communication with said lake: found the waters in some places twelve feet deep and continued the survey of this river to the North Lake. The river between Omquememkeeg Lake and North Lake is from ten to two rods wide; in some places twelve feet deep, in others so shallow as to render it very difficult passing in a birch canoe when the water is low. Thence, continued the survey northerly thro the North Lake to the most northerly extreme thereof; there being no stream running into said North Lake except small brooks. I therefore concluded that the brook running into the most northerly extreme thereof, must be considered as the source of the main northerly branch of the river Schoodic." John F. Pratt.
