Boundary continuity (non-identical overlaps)
Spatial polygon overlaps with adjacent census years where the boundary shifted enough that the SAME_AS chain didn't merge them. These show where the territory came from and went to even when it isn't tracked as the same persistent place.
Earlier boundary forms
- In an earlier year, this CSD was contained in Clyde River, 1901 (16.2% share).
Later boundary forms
- In a later year, this CSD became part of Clyde River & Cape Negro, 1921 (16.2% share).
