Ontario Outline Map

Simple, clean outline map showing Ontario's provincial boundary and distinctive geographic shape.

About the Ontario Outline

This simple outline map displays Ontario's distinctive geographic boundary without any internal details, labels, or embellishments. The clean design shows only the provincial border, making it ideal for presentations, custom mapping projects, educational materials, and business graphics. Ontario's unique shape is instantly recognizable, with its southern boundary formed by the Great Lakes (Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario) and its northern reaches extending to Hudson Bay and James Bay.

The outline clearly shows Ontario's complex geography: the massive northern extension to Hudson Bay, the intricate shoreline along the Great Lakes, the narrow eastern corridor along the Ottawa River, and the western boundary with Manitoba. The province's shape reflects its geological history, with the Great Lakes carved by ancient glaciers and the northern boundary following watershed divides. This simple outline format makes it easy to overlay custom data, add your own labels, or incorporate into larger graphics and presentations.
