This folio features a number of views along the scenic Highway 17 in Canada, which follows the Canadian shoreline of Lake Superior for nearly the entire distance. It is one major section of the Trans-Canada Highway, which runs from coast to coast in Canada. The map included also shows the US highways present along the southern shore.

The folio has no additional description beyond the map and the legends on the photos. Unlike most other photo collections, this one shows two industrial scenes as well as the more typical natural settings.
The cars in a few of the pictures indicate these photos date from the 1960s.
