Joe -

This is an outstanding effort.  I can tell much work has gone into this material.

However, there is, in fact, a campsite database for WCPP.  Last I checked, it was being maintained/developed by the park staff, specifically Shannon Walshe, Park Biologist (name sound familiar?).  While this effort is still in development (e.g. some of the sites do not yet exist or their exact locations have not been confirmed), the ultimate goal is to exceed your expectations ... and has been suggested to include such things as photographs of the site (we'll see how this turns out, because that could be more than trivial from a database management perspective). 

The campsite locations do, in fact, have numbers.  Since you mentioned that you have the Memory Maps material I produced, you also have the numbers.  The source of all those little dots came from the park staff ... first a map from Claire and then a file (from Shannon) containing number (assigned by the park staff), and location (UTM's if I recall correctly), plus the name of the lake (as a comment).  In some cases, the file has a campsite number followed by A, B, C, etc.  when the exact location of the campsite had not been confirmed and there were multiple instances of a campsite located in that rough position.  (Some of this I edited out to minimize clutter when placing a campsite on the Memory Map disc.)

And, yes.  There are some errors in the file.  For example, a campsite on extreme eastern Telescope Lake that is shown on the southern shore line is actually located on a small island perhaps a 100 meters east of that position.  Also keep in mind that some of the campsites (like PCD), are probably "legacy" in nature.  I've stayed on one of those in Quetico and one on Hjalmar in WCPP and it was clear that both had not been an active campsite in decades.

So, I'd recommend that we transmit at least a copy of what we find on a trip to the park staff to help them develop a comprehensive database for campsites (and other things).  For example, there is now a pictograph map floating around that has general markings of where they are in the park.  But based on my last trip, I think there are still several that have yet to be "discovered."  (I say "discovered" because I'm guessing that some First Nation folks already know where they are.)

As for a portage database for WCPP, I'm aware of no similar effort by the park staff to develop a descriptive database for that purpose (although based on my knowledge of the folks there, I'd not be completely surprise to find that that material is also floating around the office somewhere ... maybe not in an electronic format.)

Oh, BTW.  I've already suggested that I could assist the park in establishing a remotely accessible database for campsites.  (I'm not retired long enough that I don't know how to do this kind of thing.)  So, far ... no takers.
