Abstract: | <p>Blandford, one of the smaller of Oxford country's townships, has a central location in Southern Ontario, being about equidistant from the three great lakes. From the outskirts of the important city of Woodstock and based on Highway 2 it extends as a narrow strip northwards fro a dozen miles to the county boundary. While the south is crossed by the major routes of Ontario, the north is a relatively rural area in the centre of a triangle formed by Kitchener, Strantford and Woodstock. Being almost entirely without urban settlements - only the one small village of Bright straddles its eastern boundary - Blandford is wholly dominated by agriculture. The small agricultural township, is, however, far from uniform exhibiting a variety of landforms, land use and landscape, and is in the transition zone between significant divisions of natural vegetation and climate. A traverse starting in the southwest readily reveals the general pattern.</p> |
