Allen, Early History and the Land Between 1 Preliminary Thoughts and Images on How Landscape Has Shaped the Early History of The Land Between Bill Allen January 11, 2007 Dedicated to Peter Alley the man who was the first person in any discipline to understand the importance of the Land Between to cultural groups of ancient times and of the centuries up to the time of colonization.

Allen, Early History and the Land Between 13 Idea #10: During the late 1630's and 1640's Ottawa Valley Algonquian groups travelled overland via The Land Between to winter in Wendake (Huronia). This is an area of current research by Bill Allen who will report on the Kinouchepirini in particular at the Algonquian Conference at York University in October, 2007. Previous Allen related research concerns the 1641 migration of Algonquian groups of the St. Lawrence to St. Elizabeth on the high land west of Lake Couchiching near Washago. If these people were the Onontcharonon I believe these people would have taken the same 40 day northern route through The Land Between that Margery did in the winter of 1636 as documented by the Jesuits. The main east/west route, confirmed by surveyors between 1818 and 1854 was Bonnechere River to Round Lake, overland to Barry's Bay, down the Madawaska to York (Mishawashkong) River, up the York past Bancroft to Elephant Lake, across the height of land to Farquhar Lake and the Irondale River, overland to the upper Burnt River at Haliburton, overland to the Gull River at Minden, down the Gull River to Norland, overland to Head Lake, down the Head River to Dalrymple Lake and Lake Couchiching.

    Head Lake and Rush Lake Management Plan

    Head Lake and Rush Lake Management Plan 2019 About Kawartha Conservation A plentiful supply of clean water is a key component of our natural infrastructure. Our surface and groundwater resources supply our drinking water, maintain property values, sustain an agricultural industry, and support tourism. Kawartha Conservation is the local environmental agency that helps protect our water and other natural resources. Our mandate is to ensure the conservation, restoration, and responsible management of water, land, and natural habitats through programs and services that balance human, environmental, and economic needs. We are a non-profit environmental organization, established in 1979 under the Ontario Conservation Authorities Act (1946). We are governed by the six municipalities that overlap the natural boundaries of our watershed and who voted to form the Kawartha Region Conservation Authority. These municipalities include the City of Kawartha Lakes, Township of Scugog (Region of Durham), Township of Brock (Region of Durham), Municipality of Clarington (Region of Durham), Township of Cavan Monaghan, and Municipality of Trent Lakes.
