Historical Hydrography of Toronto (1802 - 1886)

Historical Hydrography of Toronto (1802 - 1886)

Shoreline, rivers (including lost rivers) and creeks in the City of Toronto digitized from georeferenced 19th century maps from the collections of the Map & Data Library, Toronto Public Library, the City of Toronto Archives, and from the book

Hayes, Derek. Historical Atlas of Toronto. Cartographic material. Vancouver: Douglas & McIntyre, 2008.

For each source map there is: a .zip file containing a line shapefile for creeks, a polygon shapefile for rivers and the shoreline, and a world file for the georectified source map as well as a KMZ file showing the same informaton

Projected Coordinate System: NAD 1983 UTM Zone 17N
Data were created with the help of Jordan Hale, who coordinated the georeferencing and vectorization by Map and Data Library student assistants.
