'Getting lost teaches you how to read a map.' ~ Cyntihia Lewis

While digging around on the Archives of Ontario's Visual Database Website, we recently uncovered some original survey maps of Laurier and Ballantyne township, where our Algonquin Log Cabin and Cottage Outpost are located. These maps give us a glimpse of the land use history, including logging, and allows us to look back to the original lake and river names in this area. If you look at the top right corner of the Laurier Township Map of 1878, it labels Surprise Lake as Surprise Lake (What we unofficially still call it), but at some point in the following 100 years the name was changed to Smythe Lake. The reason behind this change is unknown, and despite its name on the map, our local community still call it Surprise Lake.
