| | Queen Street: Thematic Preview |
 | | As late as the early 20th century city atlases showed their numbered bounds; they are marked in streets named for their owners (Jarvis; Denison; McGill), in green bits once their estates (Grange Park, Moss Park), even in bequests by their later generations. |
 | | But in 1793 it's not a street, just a line: the first concession, base for future concession lines to the north paralleling it at intervals of 100 chains (a surveyor's 66 foot chain; so 6,600 feet, 1.25 miles, or a bit over two kilometres). |
 | | Most of the line on this map was called the Road to Yonge Street, leading from the edge of town up to Bloor, and a toll gate. |
