An interactive portrait of the Niagara Peninsula corridor — from Kitchener-Waterloo through Hamilton and the Niagara region to the border. Toggle layers to see how roads, boundaries, rail, the escarpment, and watersheds divide and connect the land.
City, town, and village boundaries rendered as soft glowing activity islands. County and regional municipality lines show the administrative grid. Toggle activity islands for a rainbow mosaic of urban land use, or the concession grid to see the rural quilt between major roads.
Primary highways (QEW, 401, 403, 406), secondary regional roads, and tertiary concession roads. Rail corridors show continental freight connections. The concession grid reveals the 2km survey pattern that still defines the landscape.
The Niagara Escarpment — the geological spine of the peninsula. Conservation authority watersheds show the invisible governance boundaries that shape development.
