Highlight of the Township of Whitewater Region
The Whitewater Region is a contemporary municipality formed in 2001 through the amalgamation of the Townships of Westmeath, Ross, and Cobden. It takes its name from the world-renowned whitewater rapids on the Ottawa River, a natural feature that has shaped both the cultural and economic history of the area.
The region encompasses historic villages, agricultural land, and stretches of prime waterfront. Its roots lie in 19th-century settlement patterns, but the area’s modern identity is closely tied to outdoor recreation, paddling tourism, and conservation.
For land surveyors, the Whitewater Region presents a diverse landscape. Boundaries span early township grids, irregular shoreline parcels, and heritage village plans. Ottawa River frontage introduces hydrographic challenges: floodplain mapping, flowage easements, and shore road allowance usage are frequent factors in legal boundary work.
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 Whitewater Region, 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?
