Driving Tour - Morton To Crosby

Take a driving tour through historic town from two distinct periods in history. The St. Lawrence Lowlands were settled by Americans loyalists at the turn of the 18th century, where as the Rock lands of the Canadian Shield was settled by the Irish who fled the Potato Famine in Ireland.
This driving tour crosses that divide several times and the geological change can be readily seen. The dotted line in the map indicates where this physical change takes place. The Rideau Canal was constructed through the rugged Precambrian shield taking advantage of the many lakes and rivers. The broken line through the lakes is the route of the Canal. The tour is numbered from Morton to Crosby with numbers on the map (see bottom of page) relating to the description of that building.
