Making of Canada, Ontario - Published 1996 by National Geographic
Historical Regional Map | Cities, Wilderness & Resource Landscapes | Wall Format (688 × 523 mm) | Premium Finishes
A compelling portrait of Canada’s most populous province, Ontario reveals a land of striking contrasts—where dense urban centres meet vast, uninhabited wilderness. Published by National Geographic in June 1996 as part of the Making of Canada series, this map blends geographic clarity with historical and economic context.
From the Great Lakes corridor to the remote northern interior, it presents a detailed and balanced view of Ontario—a province central to Canada’s identity and growth.
