One of my favourite things about ancient city plans is the uncertainty. Where an old mariner's map might include a "here be dragons" on the unexplored periphery, this 1883 plan of Fort Saskatchewan includes a stretch of land labelled "disputed" exactly where the modern-day Sherritt plant stands. Also, if you're interested in my own modern take on Fort Saskatchewan, the Fort Heritage Precinct gift shop (in the Warden's Residence) has such a thing. Visit them or details.
