Map 1: A Plan of the Straits of Lake Huron into the Manitoolin Lake from the Open Gat to Cabot’s Head from a Survey made 26th, 27th, and 28th Sept. 1815 by W.F.W. Owen. This sketch map, drawn on linen, is the first map depicted of the entrance to Georgian Bay and the passage across to Wingfield Basin at Cabot Head. It is noteworthy that many of the original names given to islands and landmarks have remained to this day, yet several others have been lost, altered slightly, or completely changed. Isle of Coves is now Cove Island, Point Hurd is Cape Hurd, Walkers Island is Baptist Island, and Nancy Strait is not named in any way on today’s nautical charts. The Bruce Peninsula was called Little Cabotia by Owen and his company of assistant surveyors in 1815.
