The aerial photo shows the extent of the Union Steamship Company's holdings. The physical landscape has some noticeable changes from today's view - for instance, Snug Cove has not yet been dredged (the sand extends out much further), and the different shades of forest stands indicate recent logging tracts. The Union Steamships Ltd map shows the large amount of infrastructure in the area compared to today's private residences.
