Topographic map
Hey Folks,
I was thinking? Does anyone know of any sites that have Topographic maps in Southern Ontario? (Mainly Peel Region - but more specifically, "Professors Lake" in Brampton) that are FREE? I remember spotting written detailed info online awhile back - but never thought of saving it at the time. I'd like to find other lakes too (that I often fish). Anyway, I appreciate any help I can get... Thanks again, Rob |

RE: Topographic map
Interesting find here...
This document says Professor's Lake is 42 FEET... LINK: http://www.torontofunplaces.com/summer1_ed4.pdf While, if you type in google "Professors Lake Max Depth", it answers with 42 METERS.. I can't see a former gravel pit turned spring fed reservoir be 42 FEET DEEP? Still in search of this elusive map (if there is one out there on the interwebs) |

RE: Topographic map
Is it a topo map you're looking for or a hydrographic chart?
Topo maps use contour lines to show land features, hills and valleys. A hydro chart shows what's under the surface of the water, channels, humps and depths. Most charts especially for navigation are sold and not free, atleast not that I have found. The place to buy them is on University Ave and I think it was Adelaide, not positive of the address, I used to work near there and knew the building. Try here: http://www.charts.gc.ca/ |

RE: Topographic map
Have you played with Fish-On Line?
http://www.web2.mnr.gov.on.ca/fish_onlin...er_en.html It has info on many Ontario lakes............. a small % also have hydrographic (depth profiles). Your "Professors Lake" is not listed but thousands more are. Takes a while to get the gist of using it, but it can be helpful. Tip - I've noticed that sometimes it won't show depth contours when selected.......... then the next time you visit - it does............. apparently an "undocumented" feature.............. <>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><> See you on the river. |
