Wolfe Map-recent-shows main roads

Nautical Map-Howe Island Spit Head
"The little dots represent buildings on Cassidys point. The top three left to right. Taugher cottage that I believe was later owned by Mr. Albert. The middle house would be the farm house and the one near the bay belonged to Mr. Parker.If you notice the little house just before you get to the Cassidy farm on the right side of the road this was on the Wilson Farm and the foundation only was visible in the early 50's. The next house east of the Wilson's was the Garrah farm. Monro's now own the farm." From Wilf Garrah
