1963 Map of Niagara SW

About this map

Goose Creek meanders through the heart of this Nelson County landscape, defining a terrain dominated by glacial moraine deposits and scattered prairie potholes. The rural character of the early 1960s is preserved here, showing a network of section-line roads connecting small townships such as Adler, Rugh, and Logan Center. Local civic life and family heritage are anchored by scattered landmarks, including the central Townhall and several burial grounds like Union Cem and Logan Ch Cem. The presence of numerous water bodies, from the prominent Rugh Lake to the smaller Horseshoe Lake and Hillesland Lake, reflects the complex drainage patterns of the regional moraine. Occasional Gravel Pit sites indicate the local extraction of glacial materials used for building the township's road infrastructure during this era.
