Most of the logging done for Eastern Lands was by logging contractors. There was a small section of a township north of Ivanhoe Lake put under lisence around or before 1920. Apparently there was not enough water in the creek to float the logs down so the logs were drawn over the Esker. I have also heard that a cut was made in the esker to supply additional water in the creek. Whatever the truth of the matter that is my understanding of why the wooden crib dam was built at the esker, the one that was destroyed in 1960.
Only if you are serious about preserving the history of Foleyet, there is a large volume of material preserved relating to the 1960 flood, at the MNR.
