Manitoulin Island is located between Georgian Bay and Lake Huron.  Gore Bay - the location

featured on the cover of the map - is located on the north side of the island.

In a clever move to ensure that Sudbury appeared on both sides of the map - thereby providing

excellent visual continuity - a rather unusual inclusion was made over the index numbers.

North-western Ontario spans two time zones.  For the first time on an Official

Ontario map - the time zone boundary was shown.
