- The top banner is a portion of a circa 1772 map of Lake Ontario by Thomas Kitchin. While beautifully engraved, the map, like most of the period, is grossly inaccurate. However, it does offer insight into the place names and significant locations of eighteenth century Lake Ontario. Archives of Ontario C-87-01.
