Isoplethic patterns of continentality coefficient < 44% (shaded area) (Kopec 1965). early for farming but was abandoned because the droughty soils could not sustain an agricultural econ- omy (Chapman and Putnam 1984). The coarse loamy sand of this sand plain supported extensive Red Pine and White Pine forest, savanna and barrens prior to Euro-Canadian settlement. The Red Pine for- est was among the largest in southern Ontario south of the Canadian Shield. The droughty sands of the area promoted ground and crown fires that main- tained this forest (Varga and Schmelefske 1992). An outline of the Red Pine forest matches closely the present borders of Base Borden (Figure 7). Parts or entire sections of 94 mainly adjoining sandy lots supported "yellow pine" [Red Pine], "chiefly yellow pine," "yellow & white pine," "yel- low pine & a few white pine," "white & yellow pine," "white & yellow pine interspersed with open- ings," "plains," "pine plains," "pine plain," "plains of pine," "open pine land," "open pine plains," "open plain with a few scorched pines," "white pine plains," "white & yellow pine plains," "yellow pine plains," "a beautiful plain of yellow pine," "yellow pine windfall," "pine windfall," and "windfall" as described in the early 19th century land survey field note books for Tosorontio, Nottawasaga and Essa Townships (Benson 1820*; Black 1822*; Rankin 1833*)(Figure 7). This type of vegetation occurred along surveyed km of concession and lot.
