The demographic series for the island townships. The 1850 census excluded Anishinaabe people, so every series here begins by omitting the longest-resident population.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A wide, two-panel statistical infographic on a white background. The left panel uses blue and orange vertical bars to compare population across three years, with township and total labels; the right panel uses horizontal stacked bars to compare occupied and vacant housing units. Axes, legends, percentages, counts, and a source note appear throughout the graphic.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.
