Highlight of the Hamlet of Stewartville
Stewartville is a small hamlet within McNab/Braeside Township, situated along the Madawaska River. Historically, it served as a milling centre with a dam and hydroelectric facility. Its strategic location on the river made it a hub for local commerce and power generation.
The community grew modestly, with churches, a school, and general store, though it remained rural and unincorporated. The river’s role in energy and transport defined its historical footprint.
Land surveyors in Stewartville often deal with hydro-related boundaries, including dam easements, flowage rights, and riparian allowances. Road access and parcel development follow older settlement-era patterns with few large subdivisions. Riverbank erosion and infrastructure changes impact modern retracement.
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 Stewartville, 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?
