Diagram showing the location and depth of ancient footprints found between Toronto Island and the mainland, 1908.
Description
This map shows the location and depth of the ancient footprints between Toronto Island and the mainland. A continental ice sheet once covered this area. As the ice began to retreat, large meltwater lakes formed, including what is today Lake Ontario.
