1962 Map of Toronto

About this map

Lake Ontario serves as the central focal point for this regional survey, connecting the industrial and residential corridors of Southern Ontario and Western New York. The map documents the urban expansion of Toronto and its surrounding boroughs like North York and Scarborough, where the Scarborough Bluffs line the northern shore. On the southern side of the lake, the engineering of the Welland Canal and the natural barrier of the Niagara Escarpment define the movement of goods and people between Lake Erie and the lower lakes.
