This detailed map "Canals, Lighthouses and Sailing Routes on St. Lawrence River & Great Lakes" from a historical atlas from 1915 depicts the entire Great Lakes system – from Lake Superior via Lake Michigan, Lake Huron with Georgian Bay, to Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the upper St. Lawrence River to Montreal and Quebec.

Numerous symbols mark lighthouses and lightships along the coasts, while dashed lines trace historical sailing routes, including distances in nautical miles. Important ports and cities such as Sault Ste. Marie, Port Arthur, Owen Sound, Hamilton, Toronto, Kingston, and Montreal are carefully indicated.

The map is supplemented by two extensive tables: one lists sailing distances between the most important ports in the region, the other, under "Statistics of Canals," summarizes data on cargo, passenger, and vessel tonnage, as well as lock dimensions and construction costs of the most significant canals, including the Welland Canal, the Sault Ste. Marie Canal, and the Rideau and Richelieu Canals. A subsidiary map also shows in detail the lighthouses and sailing routes of the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec.

With its wealth of nautical and economic-historical details, this map is a fascinating piece for lovers of maritime history, collectors of historical maps, and anyone interested in the development of Canadian waterways. Produced as a high-quality giclée print, it faithfully reproduces the fine details of the original.
