A research pass collected public mentions of prospecting on named Canadian waterbodies — forums, video descriptions, blogs, club sites, tourism and government pages. Only public pages were read. The centre point comes from geocoding the place name against public Canadian place-name data, never from coordinates in anyone's post, which is why the map shows a circle at area precision rather than a point.
