1959 Map of Fort William

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The northern reaches of Lake Superior and the international border between Michigan and Ontario define this 1959 topographic record. The twin industrial and shipping hubs of Port Arthur and Fort William dominate the western shore of Thunder Bay, showing a dense network of rail infrastructure with the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National lines converging on the waterfront. The surrounding landscape is a complex of agrarian valleys and timbered highlands, where small communities like Rosslyn Village and Slate River Valley contrast with the prominent geological features of the Sibley Peninsula, including The Sleeping Giant.
