Navigate the vast and storied waters of the "Deep Water" lake with the 1556 - Lake Timiskaming (Lac Témiscamingue) Nautical Chart set. This professional-grade collection includes two essential sheets that provide exhaustive coverage of this 100-kilometre-long reach of the Ottawa River. Whether you are cruising between the vibrant communities of Temiskaming Shores or exploring the historic rugged cliffs of the Quebec shoreline, this chart set delivers the "ground-truth" data required for safe passage.
Produced to the rigorous standards of the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS), Chart 1556 offers high-resolution bathymetry for the entire basin:
The Northern Basin (Sheet 1): Detailed mapping of the widest sections of the lake, including the approaches to New Liskeard, Haileybury, and Ville-Marie.
The Southern Reach (Sheet 2): Comprehensive coverage of the narrower, fjord-like southern section as the lake transitions back into the Ottawa River toward Mattawa.
Harbor & Community Detail: Features specialized soundings for the docks and public wharves at Notre-Dame-du-Nord, Haileybury, and the marina at Ville-Marie.
Navigational Hazards: Clearly marks the significant depths—reaching over 200 metres in some areas—as well as the shoals, rocky outcroppings, and islands (such as Mann Island) that demand careful navigation.
Beyond its function as a navigational tool, this chart set is a sophisticated record of the geographic and cultural intersection of Northern Ontario and Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
Official Technical Standards: Showcases the intricate line work, sounding density, and specialized symbols that define professional hydrography.
Vivid Print Clarity: Printed with high-definition precision to ensure every depth contour and light characteristic is sharp and legible for route planning or office display.
The Perfect Regional Gift: An ideal memento for residents of Temiskaming Shores, Ville-Marie, or Cobalt who share a deep connection to the lake.
