AUTHOR'S PREFACE This history has been appearing serially through the Lindsaj "Watchman-Warder" for the past eleven months and is now issued in book form for the first time. The occasion for its preparation is, of course, the one hundredth anniversary of the opening up of Victoria county. Its chief purposes are four in number: — (1) to place on record the local details of pioneer life that are fast passing into oblivion; (2) to instruct the present generation of school-children in the ori- gins and development of the social system in which they live; (3) to show that the form which our county's development has taken has been largely determined by physiographical, racial, social, and economic forces; and (4) to demonstrate how we may, after a scien- tific study of these forces, plan for the evolution of a higher eco- nomic and social order. The difficulties of the work have been prodigious. A Victoria County Historical Society, formed twenty years ago for a similar purpose, found the field so sterile that it disbanded, leaving no re- cords behind. Under such circumstances, I have had to dig deep.

  • Flood Plain Mapping Study Burnt River
    Flood Plain Mapping Study Burnt River Final Report May 2019 Executive Summary The primary goals of this study are to create hydrologic and hydraulic models of the watershed and produce flood plain mapping for Burnt River from the outlet to Cameron Lake to the hamlet of Burnt River. The mapping will allow the City of Kawartha Lakes and Kawartha Conservation staff to make informed decisions about future land use and identify flood hazard reduction opportunities. The Burnt River Flood Plain Mapping Study was subject to a comprehensive peer review for core components: data collection, data processing, hydrologic modeling, hydraulic modeling, and map generation. The process was supported throughout by a Technical Committee consisting of technical/managerial staff from Ganaraska Conservation, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and Kawartha Conservation. Topics discussed in this study include: • Previous studies in the area • Collection of LiDAR, bathymetry and orthophoto data • Proposed land use • Delineation of hydrology subcatchments • Creation of a Visual OTTHYMO hydrology model for Regional (Timmins) Storm • Calculation of subcatchment hydrology model parameters • Derivation of flow peaks at key nodes along the watercourse • Flood Frequency Analysis for the 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 year events • Creation of a HEC-RAS hydraulic model • Creation of flood plain maps Key elements of this study include: • The Timmins storm is the Regulatory Event for the watercourse • Flood plain maps are to be created based on the highest flood elevation of the calculated water surface elevations Key recommendations of this study: • The maps created from the results of the HEC-RAS model for Burnt River Creek should be endorsed by the Kawartha Conservation Board.

  • Kinmount Historical Walking Tour Explore Our Heritage … Experience Our Charm
    Kinmount Historical Walking Tour Explore Our Heritage … Experience Our Charm Prior to the arrival of European settlers, the area around Kinmount was inhabited by aboriginals belonging to the Iroquoian, Algonquin and Huron nations. In the 1850s, with settlements pushing ever northward, the Bobcaygeon Road reached the present site of Kinmount and with it brought prospectors in lumber and other natural resources as well as settlers. Although growth was slow in the beginning, with the coming of the railroad in 1876, Kinmount began to truly blossom. By the end of the 19th Century, the town of Kinmount boasted over 50 businesses and professionals and enjoyed particular prosperity. Lumber was the biggest industry. Yet, despite the significant economic prosperity enjoyed by the town in the decades flanking the turn of the 20th Century, it seemed that the town was fated to slide into decline. Various socio-economic factors played a role in the evolution of the town and its citizens, but perhaps most significantly, it was the numerous natural disasters which shaped the physical form of the town most appreciably. Several fires claimed more than one business in the span of just a few decades; in 1942, a conflagration appropriately termed the “Great Fire” destroyed the train station, forever changing the façade of Kinmount. Floods, both minor and major have wreaked havoc upon the town as water overflowed the banks of the Burnt River. In 1928, a spring log jam resulted in a dramatic flood which saw locals taking to canoes as a means of transportation of the Main Street. However in spite of the many hardships faced by the town and its people, Kinmount has retained its gallant spirit and today has redirected its energies to meet with the challenges of the present and the future while never forgetting the valuable contributions of its past.
