Topographical Map of the Northern Part of Macaulay Twp

A topographical map of the northern concessions of Macaulay Township -  Just opposite the red number on the No. 11 Highway, a gold road runs across the railway tracks.  This is probably the old Forsyth land.  It would seem that the highway (Lone Pine Drive) was built at the same time as the railway.  Oral history states that the Forsyths boarded workers who were building the railway and that the railway tracks went through one of their lots. Also visible is Parkersville where the Forsyths attended school and church.  The school house is still there (now a home) but the church was dismantled.
