1952 Map of Toronto

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Lake Ontario serves as the central focal point of this mid-century international survey, documenting the dense industrial and urban development along the "Golden Horseshoe" of Ontario and the agricultural landscapes of Western New York. The map captures a significant period of infrastructure growth, featuring the established Welland Canal and the emerging New York State Thruway. Major urban centers like Toronto and Hamilton are shown at a peak of post-war expansion, with the extensive Canadian National Railways network connecting them to outlying towns such as Brampton and Oshawa. On the American shore, the Niagara River separates Niagara Falls from its Canadian counterpart, while the Erie Canal continues its path through Lockport and Medina. The topographic detail highlights prominent natural landmarks including the Niagara Escarpment and the Scarborough Bluffs, alongside strategic sites like Fort Niagara.
