Date
Determination: There is no date on this map. Reference is made
on the rear cover to 27 gold mines planning on beginning production in
1937. This would infer that this map was not issued post 1937.
Copp Clark was the lithographer of this map and the Official Road Map of
Ontario (ORMO) during this time period. This B/A map indicates that
there were 42 highways in the province. The 1936-1937 ORMO indicates
there were a total of 37 highways finished. This would reflect the
total at the time of production of the map - late 1935 or early
1936. The 1937-1938 issue reveals that there were 72 Provincial
highways - an increase of 35 highways. Other authorities
suggest that highway 42 was completed in 1935 - with a lag time of
completion and naming of the highway to it appearing on the map - it is
reasonable to assume that although the ORMO did not include it in the
1936-1937 ORMO, it did appear on the Copp Clark produced map in 1936 or
1937.
