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.
