Description

This is a fire insurance plan of O'Leary. It shows the town in two (2) sections that are intended to be continuous. The sections show the area of the O'Leary Road between the Barckley (Barclay) and Gaspe Roads, approximately. A key plan in the lower left corner provides context. The map sections show the town divided into numbered portions. They show buildings, with numbers assigned to them and their heights given in storeys. The buildings are colour-coded according to construction materials and/or use. A key near the top of the page explains the colour coding and symbols (used to depict architectural features). Labels on some buildings indicate their use. The map section on the left of the page shows part of the P.E.I. Railway. The map sections show street widths measured in feet. Text information states the community has "no protection" in terms of firefighting resources. The two map sections and the key plan have compasses with north arrows. Note: It appears that the north arrows were originally printed upside down and then corrected by hand. The plan has a line scale in feet.
