Very cool. And of course, I have a bunch of old Ontario federal maps in the gallery.

There is an error in your 1993 / 1988 map. Guelph-Wellington has the wrong boundaries. I came across this whilst making my own for my site.

Well done, Teddy. I know how time consuming these are, as I am in the process of my own versions.

I think both Teddy and I are using those maps already Wink

I know more exist. I remember seeing a 1993 one at my university's library.

Feel free to make some yourself, I would put them on my site Smiley

Good stuff!

I am interested in what some of your resources are for finding old municipal boundaries are and what not. Some old riding boundaries can be hard to identify if they use powerlines, lots, concessions, defunct railways, etc.

The Parliament website has the official descriptions for all ridings going back to Confederation. In places like QC and southern ON where they follow county and township lines, it's not that hard to reconstruct. I did a fairly accurate map of the 1917-1924 and 1924-1933 redistributions for southern ON.

Yeah, but there are other provinces. BTW, when will you be posting those maps?

Yeah, they're based on the former municipality names.

Well, the names have stuck because of the municipal names.

I dont think it was called Whitchurch-Stouffville back then.
