I love survey #maps of town sites for their layers. This one shows what was there when the surveyor visited - "Woods composed chiefly of Small Pine and Alder" - but also the names of those who later purchased the lots the surveyor laid out. Still, it neglects the deep human #history of the place, though it mentions the #Mississaugas' continued presence.

Wells, Plan of the Town Plot of Port Credit, 1843
