1846 Gray: Toronto, C.W. Sketch shewing the Harbour and Ordnance Property, with the Encroachments...

This plan is in three parts: the 'Old' Fort, the New Fort, and where there had been encroachments on the Reserve. Click the map to view a full-size version of the Reserve detail.

A distinction is made between encroachments and lands held under approved lease, such as Duffy's where the Concession Road [Dufferin Street] meets the lake, and Mr. Farr's Brewery lot on the Lakeshore Road [Queen Street] where it crosses the Garrison Creek.  The encroachments are shown in yellow:

(a) Mr. McDonnell on the Lakeshore Road [Queen St.] at the Concession Road [Dufferin Street].
(b) Mr. Troy near at the Lakeshore Road [Queen St.] and the Concession Road [Dufferin Street].
(c) and (d) Messrs. Clarke and Baynes for a brewery on the Garrison Creek, south of Farr's Brewery and the Lakeshore Road [Queen Street].
(e) Not entered
(f) Dr. Rees, adjacent to his wharf at the foot of Simcoe Street
(g) The City Water Company, on the lake at the foot of Peter Street
