A search of the 1871 Ontario census index http://www.collectionscanada.ca/02/02010803_e.html shows Archibald was enumerated in Sydenham Township, Grey County. District 37, Division 3, page 20. An 1880 map of Sydenham Township can be located on the Canadian County Atlas Digital Project at http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/CountyAtlas/SearchMapframes.php Copy and paste the map into Microsoft Excel and drag a corner to enlarge it. Your ancestor was enumerated on Lot 21, Concession 1 South of the Centre Road which runs east and west from Owen Sound. Map # 4 Southern Ontario Official Road Map located at http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/map/southindexpdf.htm Indicates that Centre Road, now Highway 26 runs from Owen Sound east to Nottawasaga Bay and along the water front to Collingwood and beyond.
