2012 Map of Ottawa South

About this map

The Marais des Cygnes River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, anchoring the city of Ottawa. The urban grid is dense with historical landmarks, including the campus of Ottawa Univ and the Ottawa Fairgrounds. Outside the city center, the terrain transitions into the Chippewa Hills and Sand Hills, where various small tributaries like Island Cr and Rock Cr drain the countryside. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from Mount Calvary Cem and Highland Cem near the river to more remote locations like Muncie Cem and Saint John's Cem to the south. Transport infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Ottawa Municipal Airport and the rail activity at B N Junction.
