Document Summary
At the bout-de-l" le , on one side is r. d. p and on the other is the st. lawrence river. This is important because there are 2 important waterways flowing through it: the water from the great. Lakes (blue) and the water from the ottawa system (dark brown). Montreal is part of an archipelago (hochelaga) of over 234 islands, and montreal is the largest island. Most of the islands in that area are named after animals where farmers would store their animals so that they don"t escape. In the same retrospect, we are prisoners of montreal as well. Bridges are very important if you"re on an island. Oldest bridge, logardeur de repentigny by ernest cormier. It passes over bourdon island named after jean bourdon, the first land surveyor and city planner (around 1637). Other, autoroute 40 bridge that leads to quebec city. In the deep background, the city"s skyscrapers could be seen from the bout-de-l" le.
