crosses Payzant’s and Cameron’s farm roads, runs close to Chris- 
topher’s Lake, and crosses Cameron’s river, at up-stream side of 
bridge on main post-road, between it and Bear Trap Lake toa 
stream bearing the same name, following the westward side of 
lake to the 45th mile, thence to the western side of Moose Horn 
Lake, crossing Seventeen Mile Brook at about one half mile from 
main road, striking Greenfield and Sixteen Mile Settlement road, 
about two miles from Greenfield. 
Thence the course taken continues across Fifteen Mile Brook 
and through Allen Morton’s pasture, about one-fourth mile from 
Middlefield, meeting the new Greenfield road at a distance of 
150 feet from the main road, and taking the east side of the 
latter to Ten Mile Brook, which it crosses at one hundred and 
twenty feet from the bridge on post road ; again crossing this 
road, it strikes the eastern side of Ten Mile Lake. 
Most of the ground over which the survey passes in this dis- 
tance of fifteen miles is almost denuded of alluvial surface. 
Continuing along the east of Ten Mile Lake, and the west side 
Liverpool and Annapolis road, the line crosses the Liverpool 
River road at three hundred feet from its junction with the 
main post road ; thence running for and keeping the east side of 
Liverpool River to Milton. This distance of ten miles is through 
a well-wooded but thinly-settled country. 
Milton, two miles from Liverpool, although having distinct 
characteristics from the latter, may be considered as an extension 
of that town, and, judging from the appearance presented by its 
buildings, as well as the extent and resources of the mill privi- 
leges more or less made available for the manufacture of 
lumber, it is not the less important. The Liverpool River here, 
for a distance of nearly two miles, is a series of small lakes or 
pools, impounded by mill dams, and made to pay easy tribute of 
its strength on its journey. 
The mechanical force thus stored and so aptly utilized by the 
predecessors of the present generation, for the manufacture and 
export of Lumber, proved so remunerative that comfortable 
homesteads, nestling in shady nooks, half embowered by trees 
and sombre woods, remain as a transcendant example of the 
fruits of industry, skill and perseverance.
