Highlight of the Township of Stafford
Stafford Township was located just south of the City of Pembroke and was known for its productive farmland and direct road links to the Ottawa River. The township was an early recipient of Crown patents, and its flat topography made it attractive for agricultural development.
Many early families established multi-generational farms, some of which continue to operate today. Stafford was amalgamated into Laurentian Valley in 2000.
For surveyors, Stafford presents well-maintained and largely accurate boundaries, though some older farms have undergone piecemeal severances over time. Survey plans are common, and road allowances are typically open and in use. Occasional discrepancies exist where occupation diverged from older deed descriptions.
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 the Township of Stafford, 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?
