The Waterfront Route is made up of ancient roads along the St. Lawrence, Lake Saint-Louis, Lac des Deux Montagnes, Rivière des Prairies, the Lachine Canal and the Aqueduct Canal. 180 kilometers long, it is punctuated by more than 1000 heritage elements that evoke the major pages of Montreal's history. Heritage buildings and complexes, maritime infrastructures, nautical equipment, parks and shoreline walks, views of bodies of water, coastal landscapes, natural environments and archaeological sites follow one another. Each of the heritage elements is associated with a historical theme: * The Montreal archipelago and the Native American presence * Waterways to trade and settle * Agricultural villages * Water, a resource to be exploited and controlled * Workers' villages * Shorelines, spaces for well-being and recreation * Shores, spaces for well-being and leisure * Parks on the shore * Parks on the shore * Water, an obstacle to be crossed by bridges and crossings * Transit villages * Other notable elements unrelated to the themes Historical [interactive mapping] (https://montreal.ca/articles/le-parcours-riverain-22677) is available to explore the waterfront routes on the island of Montreal.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The National Hydro Network (NHN) focuses on providing a quality geometric description and a set of basic attributes describing Canada's inland surface waters. It provides geospatial digital data compliant with the NHN Standard such as lakes, reservoirs, watercourses (rivers and streams), canals, islands, drainage linear network, toponyms or geographical names, constructions and obstacles related to surface waters, etc. The best available federal and provincial data are used for its production, which is done jointly by the federal and interested provincial and territorial partners. The NHN is created from existing data at the 1:50 000 scale or better. The NHN data have a great potential for analysis, cartographic representation and display and will serve as base data in many applications. The NHN Work Unit Limits were created based on Water Survey of Canada Sub-Sub-Drainage Area.
