- Hand drawn maps of early Waterloo county with the names of property owners and approximate dates of ownership.
This map shows part of Waterloo township, location of early settlement of Shantz, just northeast of Breslau, bordering Guelph city limits. Red line running across top of map from left to right is Victoria Street which becomes Woodlawn Avenue at the Guelph city limits. - 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.
Modern streets not always identified; maps are not to scale and geographic locations are approximate. Names of property owners on reverse.
