- Description
- Hand drawn maps of early Waterloo township with the names of property owners and approximate dates of ownership.
This map shows part of downtown Kitchener, specifically bounded by Queen Street where it intersects with King street and ends at Lancaster street. Red line from Lancaster street across the top of the map is Frederick street. Lots 55-58 were just outside the early 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. 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.
