1961 Map of Blind River

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The North Channel of Lake Huron serves as the focal point for this early 1960s study, illustrating the dense network of islands and coastal settlements along the international boundary. The map documents the sprawling Mississagi Provincial Forest and the La Cloche Mountains, highlighting a transition from the industrial and transport corridor of the Canadian Pacific railroad to the remote interior lake systems. Along the shoreline, established towns like Blind River and Bruce Mines are detailed alongside island communities such as Hilton Beach on St Joseph Island. This survey captures the region's geography before significant modern expansion, preserving the locations of smaller settlements like Sylvan Valley and Wharncliffe that once supported the local timber and mining economies.
