Canoe Route Planning Map

Designed by Gail Murray of MERMAP, a division of KBM, this is the first map of its kind to depict all known area canoe routes in a readable scale. Produced unfolded, it is ideal for planning a canoe trip or as a conversation piece to recollect memories of past adventures. It is the perfect gift for the wilderness paddler in search of new canoeing opportunities.

Data for this map is compiled from a variety of sources. Road information is a synthesis of data collected from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) and from three forestry companies that have generously lent their most recent layers to the project. Primary and secondary heights of land, railway, lakes and rivers, as well as provincial park and conservation reserve boundaries have been collected from the OMNR data set. Major lakes and waterways are labelled and all known canoe routes are clearly marked. The backdrop of the map is a "3-D" geotiff image created from the OMNR 20m Digital Elevation Model. Printed in full CYMK colour on 100lb glossy text paper, it provides a striking impression of the area topography.

Grid lines every 30 degrees of longitude and every 15 degrees of latitude define the coverage of the 1:50,000 Provincial Series of topographical maps over the entire extent of the map. Topo map index numbers are provided at grid intersection points. With a scale of 1:210 000, the map is 42" tall x 44.5" wide and covers over 43,000 square kilometres (about 16,500 square miles or 10,583,040 acres) of virtually-roadless, pristine wilderness.

The first edition is limited to 1,000 copies. Due to the anticipated high demand, advance orders are strongly recommended. Suggested retail price is $50.00CAD plus applicable taxes and is subject to change without notice.
