Description

This is the plan for the Ontario Methodist Camp Ground in 1875. This was the first year that the Ontario Methodist Camp Ground owned the land sold to them by John B. Bowslaugh, which was approximately 12 1/2 acres. This map lays out the plots of land the company wanted to lease. They are clustered around the auditorium circle, to the east of auditorium circle, along Victoria Terrace and extending west along the lakeshore. Lake Ontario is to the north and John B. Bowslaugh's land is to the south. The size and space for approximately 125 plots are noted as are reserved lands for public use.
