Urbex Map Ontario – 1,513 Abandoned Places GPS Map
The Urbex Map Ontario is a GPS-ready abandoned places map for Ontario, Canada, built for urban explorers, photographers, and location researchers who want a structured starting point instead of scattered forum notes. It compiles 1,513 abandoned locations into a digital KML/KMZ map that can be imported into Google Earth or Google My Maps.
Ontario is one of Canada’s strongest urbex regions: post-industrial corridors around Toronto and Hamilton, mining heritage in the north, rural abandonments across the Canadian Shield, and former institutional or transport infrastructure throughout the province. This map keeps the promise simple: faster research, organized GPS markers, and province-wide coverage for planning responsible urban exploration.
It does not replace on-site judgement, permission checks, or safety preparation. Use every lead responsibly and respect local laws, property boundaries, and changing site conditions.

Cities & Areas Included
- 🏭 Toronto & the Greater Toronto Industrial Belt : Toronto and its metropolitan area hold the largest concentration of abandoned sites in Canada: former manufacturing plants along the waterfront, decommissioned industrial complexes in the east end, and forgotten institutional buildings across the city’s sprawling suburban fringe. The Port Lands industrial peninsula, once a major hub of Canadian manufacturing, preserves some of the most photographically compelling industrial ruins in the country, while the Don Valley corridor adds former brickworks, asylums, and infrastructure of extraordinary historical scale.
- 🔩 Hamilton, Niagara & the Steel Belt : Hamilton holds some of Canada’s most dramatic abandoned industrial infrastructure: former Stelco and Dofasco steel plant ancillary buildings, decommissioned port facilities along Burlington Bay, and forgotten industrial complexes from Canada’s heavy manufacturing era. The Niagara region adds former canal infrastructure, abandoned textile mills, and decommissioned institutional buildings set against the distinctive landscape of the Niagara Escarpment.
- ⛏️ Northern Ontario Mining & Wilderness : Northern Ontario holds abandoned mine headframes, former company towns, and decommissioned railway infrastructure across a vast boreal wilderness that stretches from Sudbury to Thunder Bay and beyond. The Silver Belt around Cobalt, the Porcupine Gold Camp near Timmins, and the iron ore infrastructure of the Steep Rock area represent extraordinary concentrations of industrial archaeology that remain largely unexplored by the wider urbex community.
Types of Spots Included
This urbex map covers Toronto’s former waterfront manufacturing plants and industrial infrastructure, Hamilton’s decommissioned steel plant ancillary buildings and port facilities, abandoned asylum and psychiatric hospital complexes across the province, former mine headframes and company towns on the Canadian Shield, decommissioned railway infrastructure and roundhouses, and forgotten rural industrial buildings across the Ontario countryside. Ontario’s combination of urban industrial heritage, institutional ruins, and wilderness mining sites makes it the single richest urbex province in Canada.
