Summary[edit]

Description Original caption: "
Wellington’s Niagara Fortress was planned for the high ground called Short Hills, where it would overlook the Welland Canal to the south and east. In 1831, 200 acres were bought for £628 but nothing was built. The site today is occupied by the Look-Out Point golf course, in Fonthill – which boasts of “absolutely the most breathtaking view of the Niagara Region.” This 1827 map is credited to Colonel E.W. Durnford, Royal Engineers. Source: LAC NMC 0021588
