Highlight of the Hamlet of Plevna
Plevna lies just south of Renfrew County, within Frontenac County, but historically maintained strong links to nearby Palmer Rapids and Denbigh. Originally known as Buckshot, it was renamed during the Balkan conflicts of the 1870s in honour of the Siege of Plevna.
The village served as a trading and service centre for surrounding rural settlements and remained a base for logging and farming families. Plevna continues to act as a hub for cottage traffic and seasonal visitors.
From a surveyor’s perspective, Plevna’s parcel fabric includes concession lots, recreational severances, and shoreline development. Title work often includes historical overlays of Crown reserves, older registered plans, and cottage access routes that follow natural contours rather than surveyed allowances.
Adam Kasprzak Surveying Ltd. maintains the ONLY archived catalog of survey records of Renfrew County. We are the caretakers of over 150 years worth of numerous Land Surveyors records (plans, fieldnotes and other records) . This includes records of Plevna, and the many other interesting parts of this corner of Ontario.
Historic survey records are essential for an Ontario Land Surveyor to form a boundary opinion. Without proper research, a Surveyor cannot accept one piece of evidence and reject another. A full understanding of the sources of evidence, the reasoning of its origin, and sources for error; all of the why - who - when - where - how must be evaluated. With access to all of the available records of past surveys in the County, we have the privilege of gaining these valuable insights.
Do you have any questions about our records, and how we carry out surveys that are built on the legacy of these historic records?
