| St Georges d' Henryville Seigneurie de Noyan Quebec, Canada |

This map of the village of St Georges de Henryville was made from what I can determine some time after 1870.
On the map of village it can be seen to have two more or less distinct area identified - Villages des Anglais and Village des Canadiens. The English establishments ( Church & School ) at the easterly end and the Canadien establishment ( Church & Convent ) on the westerly end. ( There is a note on the map stating that the placement of the older original house in maked with a white square )
In order to situate the village according to the more recent road maps , using the Rutland Railroad line at the top part of the map as the starting point which is the most westerly part of the village, it can be established that the road running west to east in almost a straight line, cutting the village in two was the road running to the junction of the South River, and the Chambly ( Richelieu) River , and Isle Aux Noix. If you follow the road east then it would have, back when it was first built, taken you to St Sebastien, but today connects to Highway 133, which now runs to St Sebastien..
The first north-south road running parallel to the railroad , runs from the turn off from Highway 133, in front of the Catholic Church , crosses the road to Noyan and continues up over the hill, to join up with the road to Clarenceville.
The main road from Clarenceville, coming from the south ended as can be seen on the map at the front door of the English Church. This road originates at the English Church in Clarenceville, crosses the South River about where Scotch Point was situated and runs north into Henryville.
Outside the mapped area on the right side of your screen would be Highway 133 , which takes you from Iberville, through Sabrevois, past Henryville, through St Sebastien, past Pike River, and St Armand, down to the border point of Phillipsbug.
