Perth Military Settlement Map

The Perth Military Settlement Map shows the original lot boundaries for Perth, Drummond/North Elmsley, Tay Valley and Beckwith that were granted to European arrivals and disbanded soldiers from the War of 1812, along with various types of land grants (e.g. military, settler, clergy, Crown). The searchable database map also includes information about the original settlers by name, such as where they were from, how many were in their families, and more. These digital maps were created from the original paper maps of the survey done in 1815. Helping to tell the story of the Perth Military Settlement, the maps show the settlement areas of the soldiers and settlers by individual lot and concession, and their stories, complete with links to interviews and photos when available. This treasure trove of information has been made available to the public online for family and historical research, as well as for genealogical tourism.
