1968 Map of Fort William

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The industrial and maritime centers of Port Arthur and Fort William dominate the western shore of Thunder Bay in this 1968 Army Map Service study. This era captures the twin cities prior to their 1970 merger, showing the complex rail networks of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National lines serving the grain elevators and docks. Across the international boundary, Isle Royale National Park sits in the cold waters of Lake Superior, its wilderness coastline including Blake Point and Siskiwit Bay. Inland, the landscape is defined by the steep relief of The Palisades and Mt. McKay, while smaller settlements like Kakabeka Falls and Rosslyn Village follow the course of the Kaministikwia River. The map also details the Fort William Indian Reserve 52 and the distinctive geological formation of The Sleeping Giant on the Sibley Peninsula.
