Parish Maps

The settled part of the Colo was divided into two Counties. The County of Hunter on the north side of the river and the County of Cook on the south side.  There were two Parishes within this area. The Parish of Colo was upstream on Wehheny Creek and the Parsh of Meehan was downstream of Wheeny Creek.
