Patrick McNiff, a government surveyor for Upper Canada, drew this map in 1787 at the request of Joel Stone and Daniel Jones. According to the laws of the period, Loyalists who had not received lands could pay for surveys and the lands would be granted. You can see the names of the men on their respective allotments. Of note are the graves and burial sites on the east bank of the river. The "Indian Burying Places" on the points are consistent with the practices of Huron-Iroquoian peoples. The grave is mysterious. This would be the resting place of a person of European descent, but the identity of the occupant is lost to history. Map courtesy of the National Archives of Canada.
