		Toponymy is a fundamental layer of information to be included within the NTDB for use in digital and printed NTS map products.
		The source of this toponymy for Canada is the CGNDB which stores and maintains current geographical names records, as authorized by the CPCGN.
		In most cases, due to the time span between the last printed map edition and the date in which the initial loading of toponymy into the NTDB was performed, there is a disparity between the present records of the CGNDB and the toponymy theme of the NTDB.

		Toponymy is a wonderfully scalable topic, and so its use doesn't have to be limited to units on Northern Ontario.
		Although toponymy is being treated as a topic in human geography, there's also a large spill-over into the physical side of things, and this can be used to advantage.
		At a minimum, toponymy should be introduced as a component of classwork in physical or human geography.

		Unlike the ones of the Classical and early Middle periods, these maps are different in outlook, in contour, in hydrography, and beginnings of modern Macedonian toponymy are to be noticed.
		This is the first map on which are marked the origins of the Macedonian toponymy for rivers and towns such as: Vardaro fl., the towns: Prilepo, Vodana (Voden), Ostro (Ostrovo), Vitolie (Bitola), Cratovo, Stipe (Shtip), Prespa (Resen), Belgrado (Goritsa-Korcha), Struga, Ocrida (Ohrid), Novigrado (Novi Grad near Ostrovo).
		De 1'Isle also made certain errors in these maps, like failing to indicate Lake of Prespa, an error to be passed on for a whole century: changing the shape of the Lake of Ohrid; and down the Struma River, he included several non-existant lakes.

		The toponymy of the Northwest Coast that was established in the latter years of the 1700’s is very useful to understanding the history of that region.
		The British place-names of the Pacific Northwest illustrate the rich influence of the economic interests of Britain in that area that were conveyed through such explorers as James Cook, George Vancouver as well as traders such as Charles Barkley, George Dixon and James Strange.
		However, ironically, the publishing of his voyage did facilitate trade with the East as it was intended to, although through the fur trading of the 1780’s.
