EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning sketch captures a moment in history, showcasing the communication route from York on Lake Ontario to Gloucester or Machidash Bay on Lake Huron. Created by Lieut.t Pilkington of the Royal Engineers and Alexander Aitken, Deputy Surveyor, in October 1793, this intricate map provides valuable insight into early Canadian cartography. The detailed lines and annotations on the map reveal Simcoe's route from Hollands River and back, along with a note on the navigability of Lake Simcoe. The scale of 1:150,000 allows viewers to appreciate the vastness of the landscape and the challenges faced by early explorers navigating these waters. Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this piece is a testament to the skill and dedication of those who mapped out uncharted territories centuries ago. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a sense of timelessness to the image, inviting us to step back in time and imagine what it was like to travel through these regions during the 18th century. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the importance of communication networks in shaping our world today. This sketch serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days of exploration and discovery.
