thistlekicker	03/25/2014 12:45PM I still haven't figured out the Land Information Ontario website, but I did find this one: http://www.geographynetwork.ca/website/obm/viewer.htm You can download contour lines, lake polygons, stream lines, and trail lines. You have to zoom in fairly far for some of the datasets (e.g., contour lines) to display and be available for download. But it's pretty user-friendly. With this data (and ArcMap) I was able to make a custom map of the Beaverhouse/Quetico/Cirrus area.

However, a lot of data is still available to the public - Open Data " Thanks, I think this will help. I'll post more if I figure out how to use their WMS.
QuietWild	01/13/2014 01:42PM In addition to the other resources already mentioned, the following site is also a treasure trove of Quetico related data: Legacy Forest (Quetico Provincial Park)
OldGreyGoose	01/13/2014 01:34PM There's even a "Canada Maps Free" Android app. =) --Goose
bstrege	01/13/2014 12:11PM If you need the actual data, you can get it from Land Information Ontario. You have to sign up for an account, which can take awhile since you have to mail in a form. However, once you get an account, there is a bunch of useful data that you can get, including contours and elevation data. Edit - It appears that procedures and licenses have changed since I signed up. I'm not sure how to access the contour data anymore. However, a lot of data is still available to the public - Open Data
RC	01/03/2014 02:18PM Free Online topographic maps USA & Canada Highest quality topo maps with no ads and no watermarks! Choose t4 Topo High or t5 Canada. Also displays aerials.
thebotanyguy	01/03/2014 01:40PM You can get online maps with topography through the Atlas of Canada website: Atlas of Canada You need to zoom in a lot for the topographic lines to show. Interestingly, some of the contours are in feet (50 foot intervals) and some are in meters. There is also free geographic data available at this site: Free data Atlas of Canada
thistlekicker	01/03/2014 10:16AM Wondering if there's a WMS (or download source) for topographic data (DRG) and aerial photography of the Quetico region. Maybe we're just lucky that we have this type of stuff in MN http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/chouse/wms/index.html http://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/chouse/wms/geo_image_server.html I've been poking around the OMNR website but so far haven't hit on anything like this. Thanks in advance for any suggestions in tracking down Quetico imagery.
