Description
As the first truly collaborative mapping project between the Counties of Bruce and Grey, this map was designed as a way finding aid for both tourists and local residents. It is the most detailed regional map ever published for the Grey-Bruce area.

With over 400 points of interest, detailed road information, annotated rivers and lakes with canoe access points and boat launches, this map is a great tool for finding things to do in Grey Bruce. Unique to this map is the inclusion of a shaded-relief background effect, which was added to convey a sense of the varied topography - from the extremes of the Niagara Escarpment and the Beaver Valley, to the gently rolling countryside of the Saugeen River watershed. The map is available free of charge from all tourist information centers in Grey Bruce.
