PAPER COPIES of an Ontario map Most of the Ontario tourist offices will have paper road maps of Ontario available. You can also order one from Ontario Tourism by calling 1-800-668-2746. For city maps, you can usually get free ones from the local tourist office as well. I usually stop in to the tourist office upon arrival in any city and pick up a map along with handy pamphlets about local attractions. Many times you'll find discount coupons there as well, so it's worth a visit! ON-LINE Ontario travel map There are many maps of Ontario available on-line, some good, others not so good. A good overview map: One of the clearest, simplest ones I've found is here. It's put out by the federal department of Natural Resources and shows the major cities, towns, lakes and some rivers as well as borders with provinces and the United States. It's a good quick glance for foreign visitors unfamiliar with the shape (or size!) of Ontario. The only odd thing about it is that it doesn't show the location of Niagara Falls! In case you're wondering, it's right down in the right hand corner roughly between Welland and St. Catharines. An interactive map of Southern and Central Ontario: If you're looking for an INTERACTIVE map, the GOOGLE map I've formatted below for you may be useful. This isn't the ENTIRE province (see the one above for that). If you place your cursor on the map and then drag it left and right and up and down, you'll see all of the major tourist places appear: Niagara Falls (which is "A" on this map), Toronto, Ottawa, Algonquin Park, etc. Click on the "View Larger Map" link in the bottom LEFT HAND corner, and it will take you to Google Maps. There you can plug in the names of OTHER cities and towns or parks that interest you, and it will show you where they're located. Looking a map for a specific city?
