It is strange that in a country of Canada's dimensions and regional diversities, the study of areal differentiation has advanced so little. Manufacturing is directly responsible for the means of livelihood of one-quarter of the population, and its development is popularly regarded as a barometer of economic maturity and nationhood. A long-awaited Seaway is now being constructed and speculation on area benefits and handicaps is rife. Yet the existing pattern of manufacturing, which forms the basis of future developments, remains uncharted. It is a purpose of this study to survey and present an initial differentiation of the manufacturing belt in central Canada, that area lying between the vicinity of Quebec City and Georgian Bay.
