Written by Jonathan Berger and Thomas Terry. Published by Boston Mills Press, 2007. Description: |
| First Nations people call it Nishwawbe-Aski, "Land of the
Original People." The area known as the Little North lies in Ontario and
Manitoba, north of Lake Superior, east of Lake Winnipeg, west of James Bay and
south of Hudson Bay. Early French fur traders referred to it as Le Petit Nord,
as distinguished from the vast area west and north of Lake Winnipeg, Le Grand
Nord. Despite its name, the Little North encompasses over 20 major lake and
river systems within more than 500,000 square miles. This remarkable atlas, in an oversize format, is a landmark publication. It is the result of five decades of travel, research and documentation. Its first section provides an overview of the region’s geography, the nature of its canoe routes, and the influence of natural and cultural history on those routes. Its second, larger section features annotated versions of 50 topographic maps derived from the well-known Canadian National Topographic System (NTS) and constructed in digital form by the Geographic Information Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley. Annotations include points of interest, portages, rapids and difficult passages. Canoe Atlas of the Little North features:
