Map from 1641 showing the Cloutiers in Château-Richer

Black and white archival map showing Côte-de-Beaupré, the St. Lawrence River, and Île d’Orléans. It illustrates bodies of water, identified by name, as well as land use as shown by the presence of lots—long, horizontal strips of land perpendicular to the river bearing their owners’ names.

The red arrows indicate several sites that bear witness to the presence of the Cloutier family in Château-Richer, including the plots belonging to Zacharie Cloutier Jr. and Robert Drouin, husband of Anne Cloutier; the “abri de Cloutié” (Cloutier shelter); and Jean Cloutier’s land. The map dating from 1641 was drawn by Jean Bourdon.
