Excerpt from A Faunal Investigation of Prince Edward County, OntarioThe area is virtually an Island today. The Bay of Quinte from the east, all but meets Weller Bay on the west, leaving a narrow neck of land connecting the county to the mainland. Actually the neck of land is now severed to facilitate transportation. These bays were the travel routes of the Indians and the early traders and explorers who portaged from one to the other. The village of Carrying Place marks the portage and commemorates it by name.Many bays of Lake Ontario indent the margin of Prince Edward County and impart to it an extremely irregular outline. These inundations, where the land slopes back gradually and there is general low relief, have provided many marshes. Also an extensive swamp is situated in the interior. Such features have allowed for the preservation of many faunal elements that would otherwise have been eliminated by settlement and cultivation.Passing mention should be made here of two conspicuous physio graphic features of the county which have attracted considerable popular interest, namely the Lake on the Mountain, near Picton.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
