ous directions, are pathways to the geologist. They afford water 

 power to the saw-mill, grist-mill and factory, and supplies of water 

 for other uses. The country is well watered. 



The brooks are : Malignant Brook, McNeil's Brook, Doctor's 

 Brook, Arisaig Brook, Smith's Brook, McAdam's Brook, McAra's 

 Brook, Knoydart Brook. 



The northern boundary of the township — Northumberland Strait 

 — affords abundance of fish to the settler. Its shore is of surpassing 

 interest to the geologist. Its beaches make it an admirable water- 

 ing place. 



The Arisaig mountains rise to the elevation of 1010 and 1000 ieet. 



McNeil's mountain is considered the second highest mountain in 

 Nova Scotia proper. 



Cape Breton has an elevation 1360 feet. — Admiralty Chart.
