Consistency in naming. There are three (3) hydro electric dams on the NIPIGON RIVER operated by Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and they are all labelled differently.
This should be PINE PORTAGE GENERATING STATION.

Sawmill Point.
Site of an early 20th century industrial sawmill. Back in the days when there were still log drives on the Nipigon River there would be rafts and rafts of logs to be sawn. The site is still deep in sawdust from long ago
