Chrismar Adventure Maps.
If you are looking for maps that can take the abuse set forth from a 10 day canoe trip through the Missinaibi, or a weekend away at the Poker lake area then look no further that Chrismar Adventure Maps. Printed on sheets of plastic, they are water proof and nearly indestructible. With over 45 different maps, they are all very clearly printed and loaded with way more info than the typical maps bought at the park. Some of the info is of the history of the area, all the put in's and land marks, and fishing and wildlife. Christine Kennedy and Mark Smith make these maps from start to finish, they are not copies or traces of Goverment TOPO's. They start with aerial photos, then they go hike or paddle to actually survey the area for campsites and other items. I think they might be the last company to do this in North America. You can find their amazing maps at most outfitters here in Ontario, but you can order direct from there website. I think you have to call or fax in your order. When I ordered my "Missinaibi 2" map, they were yet to be printed on plastic, so Mark sent a paper version temporally, then sent the plastic one as soon as they came in. Fantastic customer service from a fantastic Canadian Company.
