Muskoka River Watershed from 10,000 BC to 1900

Learn about quaternary geology changes after the

last ice age, archaeological evidence of Indigenous

occupation in the past 5,000 years and the sudden

onset of development between 1850 and 1900. The

Muskoka Watershed will be set within the broader

context of the Algonquin Dome which is drained by 6

other major drainage systems. (Clockwise from the

Muskoka River they are: Magnetawan River, South

River, Amable du Fond River, Petawawa River,

Bonnechere River, Madawaska River). The

headwaters of all 7 of these river systems are

within modern Algonquin Park.

From retirement in 1997 as an

educator, Bill became licenced

in archaeology in 2001 and

practiced until recently. He

collaborated with a previous

speaker Craig MacDonald in

producing maps with

indigenous names through

Ontario.

Look for a fascinating

presentation on Jan 18th!
