The area covered by this thesis is in the province of Ontario between longitudes 76° 00’ to 76° 30’ west and latitudes 44° 45’ to 45° 00’ north. It includes most of Lanark and part of Leeds counties. Within the county of Lanark there are parts of the townships of Dalhousie, Drummond, Montague, Bathurst, North Elmsley, South Sherbrooke and the entire township of North Burgess. The county of Leeds includes parts of the townships of North Crosby, South Burgess, South Elmsley, Bastard and Kitley. The largest towns in the map-area are: Perth, the county town of Lanark, which is in the central part of the area and has a population of 4,500, and Smiths Falls which is on the eastern edge of the map-area and has a population of 8,500. Perth was founded in 1816 by Scottish soldiers disbanded after the war of 1812 and was for a long time a military town. Highway No. 15 from Ottawa and Highway No. 7 from Toronto join at Perth, which is at 50 miles from Ottawa. Highway No. 29 from Brockville and Highway No. 15 from Kingston cross the southeastern part of the map-area. A network of secondary roads provides easy access to all parts of the map-area and allowed detailed mapping to be made in a few months. Lot fences also form a good grid for surveying. The map-area can also be reached by railroad, the Canadian Pacific line from Montreal to Toronto going through Perth and Smiths Falls. Other railroads connect Smiths Falls with Brockville, Kingston, Carleton Place and Ottawa. [...]
