Nova Scotia

Nearly an island, hung off the mainland by an isthmus a few miles wide, with Cape Breton beyond it at the top. Fog, fishing, Gaelic music and the tides of Fundy on one side. No part of the province is far from salt water and no part of it ever forgets that.

Every census division on this map

These 18 are counties in the old sense, Annapolis to Yarmouth, laid out when the province was settled and kept by the census ever since. The names are a fair record of who arrived: Scottish in the east, Acadian French along the shore, New England planters through the valley.
