  Lake Timiskaming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Timiskaming (sometimes spelled Temiskaming or Temiscaming, from the French Lac Témiscamingue) is a large freshwater lake in Canada.
Situated on the provincial border between Ontario and Quebec, the lake lies on the Ottawa River.
The lake and surrounding area are popular for outdoor recreation.

 Timiskaming, Lake
All were drawn into the FUR TRADE in the early 1670s, and from then until the beginning of the 19th century, when the trade shifted northwestward, Lake Timiskaming was mainly a transportation route for a succession of fur companies and their traders.
In the 1880s, permanent settlement began around Lake Timiskaming, on the Québec side, thanks to the efforts of missionary colonizers such as Father Paradis at VILLE-MARIE, and in Ontario through the work of such men as Charles C. Farr, founder of HAILEYBURY.
Because of these railways and the highways constructed into the area from NORTH BAY and Mattawa in the 1920s, Lake Timiskaming declined as a commercial transportation route after WWI, but became important for tourism and recreational purposes.

Much of the lake is, however, threatened by development and hence the urgency for public access to these maps.
Lake Temiskaming, which forms the border with Quebec, was the main transportation route in northeastern Ontario until the railway and roads were constructed.
Lake Temiskaming is a constantly changing environment and I assume no responsibility for the accuracy of these maps.

 Thoughts on Lake Timiskaming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The furthest East I've canoed is on Lake Superior - from Thunder Bay forty miles south to Grand Portage.
I spent two years at the Manitoba school and graduated in 1975, three years before Timiskaming, I logged about 1500 miles in a St. John's canoe and 500 miles snowshoeing the frozen rivers, marshes, and flatlands of Manitoba.
Timiskaming was unfortunate, something that happened that cannot be retracted.

 Enhancement of kimberlite exploration methods in the Lake Timiskaming region, Ontario - Activities in 2002-2003
Kimberlite boulders from gravel pits on eskers near Sharp Lake and Lac Baby (Quebec) were collected to determine the source of the kimberlite boulders in these eskers.
In the Sharp Lake esker, six samples were collected to study changes in heavy mineral concentrations based on sediment facies, stratigraphic position, and distance along the esker.
In July, 2002, groundwater in holes drilled by exploration companies in the 1980's and 1990's was sampled at five kimberlites near Kirkland Lake and Lake Timiskaming: B30, C14, A4, Diamond Lake and 95-2 (Photo 2).

 Timiskaming Lake
The lakes, rivers, mountains, minerals rich underground and fertile clay of the area are all the direct results of their passage.
The Lake Timiskaming, called "Temikami" or "Temikaming" by the Algonquins, which means "deep waters", is the remains of the Ojibway-Barlow Sea, a huge basin that was covering the whole region, from northeastern Ontario to the limits of Fugèreville, Québec, tens of thousands of years ago.
30 species of fish live in the Lake Timiskaming, of whom the best known are the northern pike, the sturgeon, different varieties of minnows, the lake trout, the walleye or yellow pickerel, the largemouth bass, the bullhead, the carp, the ling, the perch and the whitefish.

Lake Temagami and Lake Timiskaming are the largest lakes in the area, and attract large numbers of boaters, as well as other recreationists.
Lake Timiskaming is part of the Ottawa River waterway, on which boaters can travel from New Liskeard in the north to Pembroke in the south.
By 1905 cottages and lodges were being built on Lake Temagami and other lakes near the railway, and tourism became the main industry of the town of Temagami.

The members of the Timiskaming Band bitterly resented this act of trespassing, and complained repeatedly to the Indian Department, which took no action to stop the trespass.

Following the retreat of the glaciers from this area at the end of the last ice age, the Ottawa River valley was flooded by an arm of the Atlantic Ocean known as the Champlain Sea.
As the extent of the Great Lakes became clear and the river began to be regarded as a tributary, it was variously known as the Grand River or Great River before the present name was settled upon.
In 1832, the Ottawa River was connected to Lake Ontario via the construction of the Rideau Canal.

When the lake began to withdraw, the water couldn't penetrate into the clay of the surface.
Thus was created a wide network of rivers and lakes, according to the shapes left by the glaciers.
Three hundred years of sedimentation in the water of the Ojibway-Barlow Lake were enough to constitute the immense clay zone surrounding the Lake Timiskaming called "the Little Clay Belt".

Probably born on White Bear (Cassels) Lake, Tonené entered the Euro-Canadian accounts in 1857, when he was hired by the Hudson’s Bay Company to carry mail between its regional headquarters on Lake Timiskaming and its winter post on Lake Temagami.
In 1877 Tonené and two others met on Lake Nipissing with federal Indian agent Charles Skene, and explained that their community had never ceded its land but now wanted an annuity from the treaty and a reserve.
Dominion land surveyor George B. Abrey visited the area that year; his report, in which he estimated the native population to be about 100 in 19 families, supported their position but restricted the size of the proposed reserve.

That all changed when the caution was lifted in the mid 1990s, but diamond explorers seemed reluctant to flock to the area, as the main diamond play in the area ended with barely a whimper.
Nevertheless, that diamond play, which was centred near Lake Timiskaming and to the northwest toward Kirkland Lake did produce many kimberlite discoveries, most of which proved to be at least marginally diamondiferous.
The area around the Bucke and Lake Timiskaming was well explored in the early 1990s, and the region did produce several kimberlites, but few diamonds.

 8th INTERNATIONAL KIMBERLITE CONFERENCE (8IKC)
The Ranch Lake kimberlite, which is located 75 km northwest of the Ekati Diamond Mine, is an enigma in that it occurs as a single large isolated body (~11 Ha) with an indicator mineral train which has been traced for at least 40 km down-ice.
The Mountain Lake intrusion has a topographic expression and is observed in Bouguer anomaly, vertical magnetic gradient, ground electromagnetic, and resistivity datasets.
Kimberlite boulders are common in the Sharp Lake and Lac Baby eskers, and indicator mineral chemistry and relative abundance of indicator minerals suggest that they are derived from as yet undiscovered kimberlites in the region.
