The Atlas of Canada's Gazetteer Map Service offers direct access to the Atlas of Canada's Find a Place maps. URL links to maps showing the location of 47 000 place and geographical feature names. The complete database can be searched at:http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/d ... tteer.html

A helpful link from the above, allows for searching place names, current and former, which is very helpful where name changes or amalgamations have taken place. Also very helpful in relating towns, villages, townships etc. to the larger districts and townships.
