        History

        Topographer Joseph Bouchette was born in Montréal. About 1790, he entered the office of his uncle, Major Samuel Holland, at that time Surveyor General of Quebec and later Surveyor General of Lower Canada. Bouchette succeeded his uncle in the latter office in 1804, retaining the position until his death. He served in the provincial marine on the Great Lakes (1791-1796) and in the Royal Canadian Volunteers (1796-1802). He also served during the War of 1812. Bouchette produced important maps of both Upper and Lower Canada as well as several large descriptive works.
