Ghost Towns of the Ottawa Valley - Canadian Geographic Magazine By the mid 1800s, available agricultural land in Ontario was rapidly decreasing, so "Three Great Lines" or colonization roads were cut into the Canadian Shield — the Addington Road, the Hastings Road and the Ottawa and Opeongo Road (Opeongo, or Ope au wingauk in Algonquian, means “sandy at the narrows”). With some exceptions, such as the Germans in Renfrew County and the Kashubs in Barry’s Bay-Wilno, many of these small communities were characterized by a “boom and bust” pattern, giving up on the mostly barren land once the timber industry moved on. The Opeongo line, which starts at the Ottawa River’s Farrell’s Landing and was meant to end at Lake Opeongo in Algonquin Park but instead peters off near Whitney, Ontario, drew its life from the timber industry, rather than the farming that was advertised, servicing loggers as they staked their way up to the pineries. www.canadiangeographic.ca /magazine/so05/indepth/socgeography.asp   (477 words)
