About the Item
Antique Map of Western Ontario, Canada – Rand McNally, circa 1888
This antique map of western Ontario was published by Rand, McNally & Co. around 1888. Labeled “Ontario No. 1,” it presents the western portion of the province, centered on Lake Huron, Georgian Bay, and Lake Erie, with towns, counties, and railroads shown in fine detail.
The map spans from Windsor and Detroit in the southwest to the Muskoka region in the north, and across to the shores of Georgian Bay and Lake Ontario. Major cities such as Toronto, Hamilton, London, and Windsor are marked, alongside numerous smaller towns and villages that formed the growing communities of Ontario during the late 19th century.
Railroads, shown in red and blue, dominate the landscape, extending from Detroit and Buffalo through Toronto and Hamilton, and connecting the region to both the U.S. and eastern Canada. These lines illustrate the industrial and agricultural development of western Ontario, positioning it as one of Canada’s most vital economic hubs.
Lakes Erie, Huron, and Ontario are carefully engraved with wave patterns, enhancing the decorative quality of the map. The Muskoka region, popularized in the 19th century as a resort and cottage destination, is also depicted with detail, reflecting Ontario’s growing identity as both an industrial and leisure province.
As one half of the two-part Rand McNally series of Ontario, this map pairs with “Ontario No. 2” (eastern section) to provide complete coverage of the province.
Condition report:
Very good condition with light toning and mild darkening along the original center fold. Plate mark visible. Margins clean with minimal handling wear. Strong impression with crisp detail.
Framing tips:
This map is ideal for display alongside its companion, “Ontario No. 2.” When framed as a pair, they provide a complete view of Ontario. A walnut or black frame with cream matting will highlight the engraved lakes, while a muted blue inner mat will emphasize the waterways.
Technique: Lithograph with original outline color
Maker: Rand, McNally & Co., Chicago, circa 1888
