Historical Topographic Map Digitization Project
Preserving Ontario’s Past
The Historical Topographic Map Digitization project was initiated by the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) Geo Community in 2014. It is a 2.5 year initiative to digitize and georeference early-to-mid 20th century historical topographic maps covering the province of Ontario at the scales of 1:25,000 and 1:63,360. The goal is to create and provide access to high-resolution map scans that preserve historical topographic information and meet the needs of current and future users.
The maps on the home page represent a sampling of the over 1000 maps in the historical topographic maps collection. Please select Full Collection below to view more.
West Toronto, Ontario. 1:25,000. Map Sheet 030M11E, ed. 3, 1974
This is a georeferenced raster image of a printed paper map of the West Toronto, Ontario region (Sheet No. 030M11E), published in 1974. It is the third edition in a series of three maps, published between 1961 and 1974. It is unusual in that the map was extended in order to include an area outside of the index grid, the Toronto Islands.
The photograph used to create this map was originally taken in 1969, by the Lockwood Survey Corporation Limited, based out of Toronto, ON, Canada. These various surveys were under the Surveys and Mapping Branch of the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Government of Canada.
