Wabakimi Map VolumesThese map volumes are the result of The Wabakimi Project expeditions from 2004 to 2018.
Each of the five volumes are organized according to their location in a particular watershed and are designed to be taken into the field to complement the use of 1:50,000 NTS topographical maps. Each map is assigned a descriptive title that indicates the extent of coverage and the direction of flow of the main intervening waterway. Canoe route values such as campsites and portages are shown. Accurately measured portage lengths are expressed in metres to make them compatible with topo maps. Locations of outpost camps and lodges are included where assistance may be obtained should an emergency arise. |
Wabakimi Canoe routes planning mapThe Wabakimi Canoe Routes Planning Map includes entry points, maintained routes along with historic routes, outposts and train stops.
Information about primary and secondary heights of land; lakes and rivers and provincial park and conservation reserve boundaries are drawn from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) data set. Grid lines every 30 minutes of longitude and every 15 minutes of latitude define the coverage of the 1:50000 Provincial Series of topographical maps over the entire extent of the map. Topo map index numbers are provided at the grid intersection points. The map is produced and updated by GoTrekker Maps in Saskatchewan, Canada. |
