Map of Toronto

  • Original caption: "
    Toronto in 1860, a few years after the first railways had been built. Built-up areas are black, everything else was farms. The rail lines can be seen cutting diagonally across the grid and, in the city, along the lakeshore where Union Station was located. The northern edge of the built-up area was Bloor Street, and the small town of Weston, founded only a few years after Toronto and now a centre within the inner suburbs, is in the north-west corner. The dominance of the grid is clear; it tilts north-east at St Clair Avenue because Simcoe had found an easier route to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron (via Lake Simcoe) shortly after the initial survey in 1793, and reoriented Yonge Street to take advantage of this.
