Title: Re: Lake Name Post by its_worth_wild on Jan 28th, 2011 at 3:18pm
Just got back from the files so here it is: Royd Lake - 197 feet, Bulging Lake - 70 m (230 ft).
Deeper than I thought for sure. About lake names - some of the names are not official names (not gazetted) and do describe shapes - Mexican Hat, Boot Jack, Elephant Head - these names were given in the last 2 decades. I am hoping that through our partnership work with the neighbouring Ojibway people we will learn of the names of lakes that given perhpas thousands of years past - now that will be authentique. As for Bunny, Telescope etc, these were gazetted and so are official names. Many of the lakes are without names or perhaps the outfitters have given names to lakes but we have not included them on our map. We don't plan on baptizing anymore lakes with names until we speak with our partners. |
