  <title>Canoe map of grass river</title>
  <description>
  <p>For an upcoming canoe trip on the Grass River (northern Manitoba), I've <a href="/~jdhildeb/canoeing/grass_river_wekusko_to_wabowden.pdf">prepared a map</a> for each of the canoes in our group.</p>
  
  <p>The map shows the section of river we'll be travelling (Wekusko Lake to Wabowden), and includes all of the portages and rapids.  This information is readily available from a number of sources, such as R&#xE9;al B&#xE9;rard's "Grass River Canoe Route" map (available from Manitoba Department of Natural Resources), as well as Hap Wilson and Stephanie Aykroyd's "Wilderness Rivers of Manitoba", however for the trip it will be helpful to have all relevant details on one map, and for each canoe to have a copy.</p>

  <p>I got the topographic maps from <a href="http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/index.html">Toporama</a>, and as far as I understand the <a href="http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/maps/topo/guidelines.html">license</a>, I'm allowed to create and distribute derivative works (thanks, Queen!), so I'm making it available here in case others want to use it.</p>
