- Description
- Hand drawn maps of early Waterloo township with the names of property owners and approximate dates of ownership.
This map shows the early settlement of German Mills, part of Bechtel's tract in the lower left corner. German Mills was located along present day Manitou drive, south of present day Fairway road. Mill street shown on the map becomes Courtland avenue and then Fairway road. - Notes
- These maps are hand drawn by Ellis Little and outline over 90000 acres of land granted (Block 2, Waterloo Township) to the Six Nations Indians by the British Crown in 1784 and sold in 1798 to Richard Beasley, James Wilson and John Baptist Rousseaux who looked to resell the land in small parcels. German Company tract became Waterloo township.
Modern streets not always identified; maps are not to scale and geographic locations are approximate. Names of property owners on reverse.
