The Gulf

Garden and line, mapped together

Filter the sites: the Edenic overlay, the family ground, or the entanglement. Bouctouche and Néguac are the Allain NB fork. Memramcook is the sister marsh. La Hève is the south French vertex — not Lunenburg.

Beyond the gulf

The name did not stay in the cradle. Louisiana, Québec, New England — still the line, no longer the Garden’s shoreline.

  • Louisiana

    1767 after Maryland. Cajun Allains. Same miller, different tide.

  • Québec / New England

    Marie’s mill-heir branch after 1745. A few returned after 1764.

Plates from the garden

Four drawings of the same rhizome. They do not agree in every line. That is the point.

  • The Garden in the Gulf
    The Garden in the Gulf. Four threads on the water. Oak Island, Louisbourg, Port-Royal, PEI.
  • An Edenic rhizome
    An Edenic rhizome. Treasure, lore, and contested shores — drawn as overlapping claims.
  • Rhizomatic branches
    Rhizomatic branches. Four roots from one trunk. The Allain line as the connecting cambium.
  • Connections
    Connections. Edenic attraction, hidden treasure, exploration, chaos and overlay.
