The Supt described each partial township recommended for addition. The Township of Boyd contains the headwaters of the Petawawa which flows southeasterly into the Ottawa, and the headwaters of the tributaries of the Mattawa which flow in the opposite direction (i.e. north and west into the Mattawa which itself drains into the Onawa. To his knowledge and by the reports of the surveyor none of the lands are settled.
