Hello all There is a river in the southern part of the Town of Digby (Digby County) that appears to run north/south and eventually flows into "The Joggins" adjacent to the Annapolis Basin. The location of this river is identical to a river that shows up on the A F Church map of 1881 (I have a portion of this map) for the same area. It doesn't appear the river is named in the AF Church map. I spent a good hour last night "surfing the 'net" and looking at present day maps of Digby and Digby County, and while I could see this river on many maps, no maps gave a name to the river. Does anyone know the name of this river? I have a couple of ARMSTRONG relatives that lived on either side of this river back in 1881. Thanks for your help.
