- Description
- Hand drawn maps of early Waterloo township with the names of property owners and approximate dates of ownership.
This map shows part of northwest Waterloo south of the settlement of Erbsville and south of Erb Street west, on the border of Wilmot township (township boundaries have changed over the years). - 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. The 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.
