Synopsis

Geology of the Timiskaming Region: Eastern Shore of Timiskaming Lake
This is a historical geological report detailing the eastern shore of Timiskaming Lake, with an accompanying map. It summarizes two field campaigns (1906 and 1907) that map the area over roughly 600 square miles, from Timiskaming to Kipawa and Quinze lakes. The work explains how topography, rock types, and ancient glacial deposits shape the landscape and its mineral potential.

This edition presents field notes, rock descriptions, and cross‑sections that describe the archæan rocks, including granite, gneiss, and various sedimentary formations. It also discusses ore prospects and notable gossips of mineral occurrences as observed at the time, including a major silver–lead occurrence and other metallic possibilities, while noting that no large, economically important deposits had been developed.

- Learn how terrain, rock evidence, and past glacial activity come together to shape a mining district.
- See how geologists described rock types, contacts, and the processes that formed the landscape.
- Explore historical ore showings and the context of early 20th‑century mineral exploration in the region.
- Understand the methods used for mapping, surveying, and locating geological boundaries.

Ideal for readers of early mining history, regional geology, and archival scientific reports who want a window into how a major survey was conducted over a vast province‑scale area.
