Tremaine Map

This map of Waterloo County from 1861 includes landmarks, buildings, and lot demarcations, along with the names of settlers. Teacher and genealogist Ezra Eby used this map in Waterloo County classrooms. His Biographical History of Waterloo Township was a foundational work of local history and genealogy. Christian Eby, a traditional healer and Ezra’s brother, used the map to locate his clients. The map was passed down to Christian’s son Gordon C. Eby and his children donated the map and arranged for its preservation with other donors who supported the costs for framing. The map is on display at the Mennonite Archives of Ontario in the Milton Good Library at Grebel.
