Vol .8, No.5 NORTHERN ONTARIO ROAD MAP NOW OUT The 1965-66 edition of a special road map of Nor- thern Ontario was recently distributed by Highways _ Minister Charles S.MacNaughton. Highway mileage completed since publication of the first map folder of this type in 1963 has been _ added and the route of highways under construction shown. Like its predecessor, the new folder is lithograph- . ed and in colour. The larger of the two maps, ' featuring Northern and Northwestern Ontario, and ~ drawn on the scale of approximately 21 miles to the inch, has for its southern boundary, a line roughly drawn from below North Bay to Sault Ste .Marie. A multitude of informational features is displayed in clearly discernible symbols. Fishing and hunting areas are designated and railway lines and Indian reservations are indicated. "Our original aim in publishing the first map two ' years ago was to step up tourist travel from large, nearby population centres in the United States, Mr. MacNaughton observed. "We had also hoped the map would stimulate intermingling of northern and southern Ontario people. The response to the first map has more than justified our decision to publish an up-to-date and improved one." Retained in the new map are symbols showing the location of pulp and veneer mills, power generating stations, mines, airports, seaplane b ases and hos- pitals. Rectangular medallions pinpoint famous for or other historical attractions and persons memorable in the early history of Northern Ontario. Also of in- terest are blocks of copy on the early history of. Northern Ontario and the development of mining, industry, steel-making and farming. The cover features a coloured aerial photograph of the new causeway across Rainy Lake east of Fort Frances. The map is available, free of charge, from any of the 18 district and five regional offices of the Dept.of Highways, the Head Office (Downsview), or the Dept.of Tourism and Information, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. Approved area information centres will also stock th e map which means that the Terrace Bay Motor Hotel will, in all probability receive a supply.
