The Southern parts of Northern Ontario are very similar physio-geographically but definitely not most of the region, for example, around the Sault, Sudbury and North Bay. But think of areas around Moosonee, Peawanuck, Fort Severn, Red Lake, Pickle Lake, Hornepayne, Hearst and even Timmins where I live. Different climates, trees, rock, waterways, etc..
I realize this thread is about highways but this discussion actually does have a lot to do in regards to why highways vary drastically across the province in terms of traffic, construction, widening, etc..
