Hi all,
I'm trying to start researching some more, and I was looking at some turn of the century (1900) panoramic maps. What I'm wondering about is this area:
It now looks like this:
My questions are:
1. Was this area originally clearcut, or did the artist just not draw the trees in between?
2. If it was clearcut, why? A park? None of the maps I have of this type show parks with names, and I'm thinking the fact that it is a peninsula would make it an ideal place for picnics.
So whaddya all think?
