Morris Island, ON GPS 45.45918, -76.27138 | The
railway played an important role in the historical development of
the area. The original railway {Beachburg] line that transected the
current conservation area (i.e. the causeway) was abandoned around 1929
when the construction of the hydro dam began and the area was
flooded. A new rail line [now also abandoned] was constructed
along what is now the western boundary of the site. Morris Island Conservation Area | Need pictures |
