A topographical view of the route taken by the New Westminster Southern Railway, which avoided the 300-foot uplands of North Surrey altogether but not those northeast of White Rock at Hazelmere. Post office openings in chronological order: Mud Bay (1881), Clover Valley (1883), Hall's Prairie (1883), Elgin (1885), Surrey Centre (1887), Clayton (1889), Brownsville (1891), Port Kells (1891), Nicomekl (1892), Cloverdale (1892), Hazelmere (1893), Tynehead (1893), Timberland (1906), Kensington Prairie (1906), Bon Accord (1907), Crescent (1907), White Rock (1910). With the construction of the Victoria Terminal Railway, the post office at Mud Bay was moved and renamed Alluvia in 1904. Timberland was renamed South Port Mann in 1911. The short-lived office at Bon Accord closed in 1909 when the Great Northern Railway rerouted its main line along the coast; an office would open nearby -- at Port Mann -- in 1911 when the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway was under construction. Crescent was previously known as Blackie's Spit. Select for a full-size view (100K).
