Karelians (Carelians)?

There was a mass influx of Karelians (from Finland) between 1890 - 1910 into Canada. At that time a section of Finland was under the control of the USSR. Since the greatest majority were not allowed to leave there freely they fled by stating they belonged to a particular religious group that was encouraged to leave. My grandparents even altered their name by, I am guessing, stringing together the names of cities and possibly townships. I am unable to get a detailed map of Karelia of that time period but the city of Sousa still exists. Since they altered their names there is no way of my finding out what the real one was, but if I could find a detailed map of Karelia for that time period I may be able to learn more. If anyone can assist me in this then I thank you in advance.
