West Parry Sound District Logging Map
|
By the late 1800s, the lumber industry was booming due to the construction of railroads through Ontario. For areas such as Parry Sound, the development of the Ottawa, Arnprior & Parry Sound Railway in 1896, meant lumber could be shipped straight to eastern markets without trans-shipment points, leading to the increased success of lumber companies along the shores of Georgian Bay.
