About this map

Tenmile Creek and the Ottawa River meander through this borderland landscape during a period of transition between industrial quarrying and suburban expansion. The heavy extraction sites at Medusa Quarry and France Quarry near Silica stand in contrast to the maturing residential developments of Ottawa Hills and Elden Heights. The map clearly delineates the North Boundary Twelvemile Reservation, a remnant of historical treaty lines that continues to influence local property and township divisions.
