  • The title is “Bear Creek Woodlot“, photo number: ASC20247.
  • It was taken in August 1990
  • There are 20 photos in the set

After a quick search online, we have a several possible leads / clues:

  2. Bear Creek Golf and Country Club in Strathroy, Ontario
  3. Bear Creek Cemetery near Brigden, Ontario (Lambton County)

  5. There may be other Bear Creeks we have yet to discover, but it is a start!

Please help us out. If you find a match, let us know in the comments section below. You may have to browse imagery on online map websites such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps etc. Any information will help, such as the nearest highway intersection or town…but if you provide a latitude/longitude, even better!

Update (April 23, 2012): Kudos to Chris Durand from the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority for helping us out with the photos.
