Claim Map

Algonquin communities are located in the general vicinity of: Ardoch, Bancroft, Golden Lake, Mattawa, North Bay, Ottawa, Sharbot Lake and Whitney.

The area that is the subject of the Algonquin land claim discussions, as depicted on the map below, can generally be described as the portion of eastern Ontario in which watersheds lie south of the Ottawa and Mattawa Rivers and whose waters flow northward into those rivers.

More specifically, the northern boundary of the claim territory follows the Ottawa River from the Mattawa River in the northwest to L'Orignal, just west of Hawkesbury. The southern boundary of the claim territory is based on the height of land defining the Ottawa River watershed.

It encompasses more than 90 per cent of Algonquin Park and stretches in a southeast direction to include Bancroft and Sharbot Lake, then east and north to L'Orignal.

This general geographic outline of the area that is the subject of the Algonquin claim negotiations is not intended to be a legal or a definitive description.
