Notes on Newcastle - 6 By William Humber This year marks the 101st anniversary of the publication of the H. Belden and Company Atlas of Northumberland and Durham Counties, a unique pictorial and written record of the heyday of small town and rural Ontario. The Atlas combinéd the imagination of the artist and the salesmanship of the promoter to record both the landscape of that day and the ambitions of local entrepreneurs. Even today a perusal of the 18 by 15 inch manuscript reprint reveals a degree of continuity in land ownership' and village structures. Ironically the, period in which this and othier atlases were produced was a kind of peak in the life of rural Ontario after which declining CATCH TED WATSON'S STRAWBERRY EXPRESS PICK VOUR OWN iVisual Arts ~Centre of Newcastle pouain and departing' inutisled to cultural and economic stagnation. This situation persisted well into this century and only in recent years have there been significant changes in both the appearance and way of life depicted in the County Atlas. H. Belden and Company was the most important of the several companies which produced 34 County or Dominion Atiases in Ontario between 1875 and 1906. Salesmen 1 quoted potential customers a diminishing rate for the Atlas based on the number of copies sold. invariably the highest rate of $12 was charged but few could resist the opportunity to sec themselves in print or picture. The charm of these Atiases is recorded in the drawings of homesteads and prosperous local farmers and businessmen. The straight- back cows and prancing horses appear to be duplicated patterns from one book to the next. Views of properties and homes are overly flattering with grand entranceways and profound structural features which the contemporary viewer tries in vain to pick out. Generally however these Atlases were remarkably accurate in recording land titie and village layout. A visitor to the Townships of Darlington and Clarke today could still use the Atlas as his guide. A glance at the map of Bowmanville on page 44 of the Northumberland Durham reprint illustrates immediately how the initial layout of roads effects the character of the town to this day. The Kingston Road or Highway 2 runs in a southeast direction from Scugog to Liberty Street with side streets running at right angle to either Highway 2 or Liberty Street and with other streets paralleling one or the other. A contemporary would feel comfortable in the Bowmanville of 1878 as he or she made their way around the triangular and irregular sized blocks which emerge from this direction of streets. 1What comes through strongly in the Atlas of Section Two The Canadian Statesrnan, Bowmanville, July 11, 1979 9 Celebrates Firsi Birthday July il th Hii there!

Northumberland Durham is the sense that this lifestyle is that most fittingly intended for people to live. Perhaps the message of the Atlas is that a combination of artistic imagination and civic promotion are required to again create this kind of fitting existence. Above aIl else the Atlas is an expression of continuity particularly with small town and rural places regaining popularlity as living quarters.
