The “Locations” maps on pages xii, 16, 76, and 147 are extensions to the table of contents. Map numbers are page numbers. The map on page 147 shows neighbourhood boundaries, according to the City of Toronto. The street map on page x shows the street names at a very small size (magnifier required). In any case, a larger-scale street map will be an invaluable aid to finding these places.
