This map was drawn by Alpheus Todd when he was just 13 years old. He was born in England in 1821 and came to York (Toronto), Upper Canada with his parents in 1833. The following year after his arrival, York was incorporated as the City of Toronto. The young Todd created an engraved plan of the city by walking through the streets and converting his paces to a scale. The map provides the location of over fifty assorted places of interest in the newly incorporated city.
