Subject: New Ontario atlas and Ontario CD-ROM series...

Dear Map Folks,

Below are two new items recently published and received that may be of
interest to members of this list.

Faithfully,
Brad Green


        ISBN 0968077234
        Scale 1:250,000 / 1:1,000,000
        Date 07/01/2000
        8.5 inch x 11 inch

   The Ontario Road and Recreational atlas is spiral bound and is an
excellent combination
   of geographic information for Ontario. This atlas indicates that it
is the 2nd edition but
   is actually significantly different than the 1st edition that covered
only Southern
   Ontario. One of the outstanding features of this atlas is that for
Northern Ontario it
   shows the NTS (National Topographic Series) grid for the 1:250,000
topographic maps
   which is very useful. The base material for all maps was provided by
the Ontario
   Ministry of Transportation and shows the loose surface roads, a very
important feature
   for cyclists but these maps do not show regional road names... The
gazetteer shows
   both communities AND features such as lakes, rivers, etc. with their
page number and
   a letter number grid. Also included is detailed information of parks,
conservation areas,
   ski areas and northern Ontario fishing & hunting outfitters with
their website address
   and contact info.



        ISBN QVNONTS
        Scale 1:50,000
        Date 07/01/2000
        CAN $ 189.95
