In 1966 the inhabitants of the village of Brakes Cove were forcibly resettled and the village ceased to exist. Many of those displaced moved to Cox's Cove, two kilometers away, while others are distributed across North America. Nearly half a century later the resettlement program in general and the Brakes Cove displacement in particular constitute a major component of the heritage of Cox's Cove. http://yaffle.ca/a/viewOpportunity/id/141/rc/1/

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
