rfmcdonaldA mention at the Map Room Blog of The Art of Cartography, an exhibition of maps at the Toronto Reference Library in the TD Gallery. Some of the maps are quite old.
Others date back only centuries. The Toronto Star's Christopher Reynolds listed some of his favourite maps. My three favourite are below. This map of New France after Samuel de Champlain caught my eye.
So too did this map of early 19th century Upper Canada.
I was particularly interested by this map of Toronto, highlighting how the Leslie Spit once extended to the Toronto Islands and made Toronto's harbour accessible only from the west.
The Art of Cartography has all kinds of maps in all kinds of formats. If you're in Toronto, do go see it.
