His Majesty's Province Of Upper Canada





Sketch of His Majesty's Province of Upper Canada By D'Arcy Boulton (1805):

"At the head of lake Ontario, about fifty miles west from Newark, there is a small town laid out, and public stores are building, being a central place between Newark, York, and Detroit. From thence a road of twenty-two miles to the grand river is cut out, and crosses that about fifty miles above its entrance into lake Erie, continuing in a southern direction to the river la Trenche, now called the Thames, which empties itself into lake St. Clair, about twenty miles above Detroit."
