A GEOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF MOULTON AND SHERBROOKE TOWNSHIPS

Abstract

A geographical thesis is concerned with the areal relationships and regional personality. This thesis is an attempt to discover the areal relationships and regional personality of Moultn and Sher— brooke Townships, Haldimand County, Ontario. It is concerned with the history of men upon this extent of land and the changes wrought by them in their fight for survival. A attempt has also been made to show what relationships exist between those who live within the area and hose who live outside it. Since the study of geography in volves many things, it is necessary to look at each individually and then combine the separate conclusions of this research into a summary and conclusion for the whole. This, too, has been attempted. Several liberties of expression have been taken in the text to make it more easily read. For example, the word 'Township' has often been omitted after the words Moulton and Sherbrooke to prevent the continuous repetition of the word. The writer was employed by the Community Planning Branch of the Department of Planning and Development, Ontario and thanks are again expressed for the use of facilities. The field work was done between September 1958 and January 1959. All maps, graphs, and tables are labelled "Figures" and photographs are referred to as "Illustrations." Unless otherwise marked the scale on all maps is two miles to the inch.
