Tne portion south of the Peace river which
flows easterly across the south half of this township
was the only part of which was investigated.

A landing at whieh boats plying the Peace,
Gall reesularly is located in the centre of section 9.
From the landing a roaé leads to the setilement to
the south. This roac is in exeelient condition with
the exception of the grade up the Peace River hill
which is very steep. Host of the country on the south
side of the Peace has been overrun by fires and some —
of it is practically opene Sut on account of the
rough nature of the valleys which eut up this part
and rernéer parts almost inaccessible, the land is more
suitable for grazing than agricultural purposes. The
only settlers in the towmship are located at the steam-
boat landing where a stopping place is kept. No attempt
at any cultivation is being made by them.
