The survey covers parts of both the United States of America and Canada and New York State and Ontario in particular. This is one of Captain W F W Owen's finest pieces of work since he took over responsibility for the Great Lakes survey in 1814. It is also one of the earliest contributions made by Henry Bayfield, Owen's eventual successor in 1817. The other assistant surveyors; Messrs Lt. A T E Vidal and Mr Harris, Master, are also well known contributors to the great survey.
