It should be noted, however, that not all features of interest were mapped systematically in the Ontario series of historical atlases, given that they were financed by subscription, and subscribers were given preference with regard to the level of detail provided on the maps. Moreover, not every feature of interest would have been within the scope of the atlas at the time of its compilation. Nevertheless, the atlas identifies the general locations of over th -century farmstead complexes, as well as several saw and grist mills, and a church.
