<1>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Quebec - it wil be higher in some places and lower in others.

- Return to Citation

<2>We use the term 'historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable and we would like to be accurate. If you can provide us with more specific information about Quebec, please let us know so that we can make corrections.

- Return to Citation

<3>Unless noted otherwise, the population counts we use are estimates. Our population values come different sources and should not be considered official.

- Return to Citation

<4>Our distances are calculated as a straight-line (or point-to-point) distance between Quebec and the indicated community. The distance should be treated as an estimate and not as the driving distance.
