Historical & Thematic Map | Cities, Wilderness & Provincial Identity | Wall Format (688 × 523 mm) | Premium Finishes

A compelling overview of Canada’s most dynamic province, Ontario — Theme Map (Side One) captures the balance between urban power and vast northern wilderness. Published by National Geographic in June 1996 as part of the Making of Canada series, this map provides a layered introduction to the province’s geography, population, and development.

Produced alongside a feature article on Toronto, it reflects the province’s role as both a cultural and economic centre—while remaining deeply connected to its expansive natural landscapes.
