An account from letters, diaries and newspapers. This is the remarkable story of the trail that became the longest street in the world, as officially recognized by 'The Guinness Book of Records'. Begun in 1794, Yonge Street was planned as a military route between Lake Ontario and Lake Huron. Anxious to bolster Upper Canada's defences against the new republic to the south, Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe had his Queen's Rangers survey and develop the route from Toronto to present-day Holland Landing and laid lots for settlement. This book with the author's own drawings having been painstakingly researched, captures the not-so-distant days when muddy Yonge Street was the backbone of pioneer Ontario.

Great for protecting my maps
Size: Regular - 12 x 16 Inches
Fits my exploring maps just right. Heavier duty than expected. Ziplock closure is tight and should last for years.

Terrific addition to your backpacking gear
I like this map holder for its versatility in holding different size maps. Once sealed, it was very effective at keeping moisture out and protecting the maps. I originally used this on a 13K mountain ascent. Worked great. The only thing that can be tricky at times is sealing the top. It's not as easy as sealing a typical zip-loc kitchen bag, takes some doing to get it to seal.

Best Map Case Ever!!!
Size: Regular - 12 x 16 Inches
Best Map case in the market! Field tested and keeps everything dry. The size is fantastic and you can run paracord through the rings. I would recommend this to anyone that uses a map. You definitely pay for what you get and that's high quality and functionality.

Just right for protecting river trip guides
Size: Regular - 12 x 16 Inches
Nice and durable - heavy duty. Getting ziplock to close is a pain though - lick or spit helps.
