About This File
This map contains part of the coast of Lake Huron (Georgian Bay). This area is located north of Parry Sound near a tiny settlement called Pointe au Baril. This region is located in the southern part of the rugged Canadian Shield, thus it contains a smoother area, with less mountains then previous maps. There are very few notable landmarks on this map. However this map presents a challenge to build on, but is not as difficult as previous maps.
The config.bmp consists of 45 large tiles, 9 vertically and 5 horizontally.
Information:
Pointe au Baril is a community in the Canadian province of Ontario, located on the east coast of Georgian Bay.
The community is located in the township of The Archipelago in the Parry Sound District.
Pointe au Baril was named after the barrel on the point that originally (1870s) marked the treacherous entry to the main channel from the open water of Georgian Bay. As the story goes, early fur traders from Penetanguishene lost a canoe near the point. Their canoe included a barrel of whiskey that was found by stranded traders the next spring. After a drinking spree the barrel was left on the point as a beacon. French mariners were soon calling it Pointe au Baril. Later this marker was improved to include a lantern in the barrel that would be lit by the first fisherman returning inland to light the way for the rest of the boats. Pointe au Baril Station There are two uses of the name Pointe au Baril. There is the original Barrel on the Point reference, and the actual village, built around a train station, some 11 km away by boat. Highway 69 follows the same path as the railway and they both run past the east tip of what is known as the Main Channel. This channel is a well marked route from the village to the lighthouse. The village has a North Shore and a South Shore road but islander travel is by boat. The village is referred to as The Station by most residents. Pointe au Baril Station is well suited for launching water craft and is supported by many marinas and a substantial public dock.
