Below I've included maps with the approximate locations of rivers mentioned in this blog to help readers unfamiliar with Ontario or perhaps even Canada navigate the tales. Within the body of the blog & sidebar, one can find links to both Ontario road maps as well as topographical map distributors. I have also Included them a the bottom of this post for added convenience. When available, the preferred topographical map scale was 1:50,000 as opposed to the 1:250,000 for they showed much greater detail which assisted in pinpointing our location and in calculating exact distance travelled each day. Remember, these trips were pre GPS etc.

The beautiful town of Blind River, Ontario is mentioned in the classic mystery set in the Upper Peninsula, "Blood is the Sky" by Steve Hamilton. More info here: http://authorstevehamilton.com
Oh, and listen to Neil Young's song "Long May You Run" for a tribute to Neil's days in Blind River. What can I say? There's something magic about Blind River!
