Back to Main Map Page

Folded Dimensions: 3.50" W X 9.50H"

Open Dimensions: 38" W X 24" H

Date Determination: There is no date shown on the map.  The actual map used in this issue is an exact reproduction of the map issued by the Ontario Department of Highways.  The legend indicates that the Provincial Highways were numbered 2 through to 31. Highway 31 was completed in 1927.  A lag time of one year from physical completion to the road being shown on the map is conceivable.  The plainness of the cover - no color or logo being used also speaks to the year of the map.  Production of colored covers would be subsequent to this map.

 

Cover Description: The cover is a light cream color - likely more close to white originally - with only black text on the cover - no illustrations.
