Southern terminus of Highway 639. The road continues southerly into Elliot
Lake and to the Trans-Canada Highway as
Highway 108. Photo taken: July 3rd, 2005. |

View looking southerly at the southern terminus of Highway 639. The transition between Highway 639 and Highway 108 is rather distinct. I think what makes this so interesting, is that there isn't even an intersection at the transition between Highway's 108 and 639 -- someone literally drew a line in the sand. Photo taken: July 3rd, 2005. |

Another northerly view as Highway 639 passes through Mississagi Provincial Park. Considering the highway's tight alignment, it is unsurprising that deer are a common sight along Highway 639. Photo taken: July 3rd, 2005. |

View looking northerly across the Boland River bridge. Concrete bridges are
somewhat rare on remote secondary highway's in Northern Ontario. Often
times bailey bridges are used for river crossings. Photo taken: September 3rd, 2006. |

View looking southerly towards Flack Lake. As I write this commentary in
2010, it has been over five years since I took these photos. Given how
quickly technology advances, I have to say that I am still impressed with
the photo quality of these images. They were taken by my long retired
Sony DSC-V1 digital camera. |

At the northern terminus of Highway 539, the secondary highway meets Highway
546 at a 'tee' intersection. Photo taken: July 3rd, 2005. |

Junction assembly at the north end of Highway 639 at the Highway 546
junction. The green sign points to two communities north from this
junction, however I can personally attest to the fact that their isn't much
up there. Photo taken: July 3rd, 2005. |
