About this piece

Eastern Ontario in c.1888, an original map by Rand, McNally & Co. printed in black on toned paper with railroad lines overprinted in red and blue. The sheet is headed "Rand, McNally & Co.'s Ontario No. 2" between atlas page numbers 60 and 61, and carries the title "Map of the Eastern Part of the Province of Ontario" in the upper right.

The sheet covers the area from Lake Ontario at the lower left and the St. Lawrence River at the lower right, northward to the Ottawa River valley and the Quebec border, which is lettered across the upper edge. Railroad lines run along the north shore of Lake Ontario, through Kingston and toward Ottawa, and up into the settled districts. The counties and townships are laid out in detail in the south, while the north is a country of lakes and rivers with few lines.

The sheet is the eastern of two Ontario plates in the atlas and shows the province before the northern railroads opened its interior.
