Abstract

The First Edition of the Atlas of Canada was published as a bound volume in 1906. It consisted of 65 plates, 37 of which were maps, and 28 of which consisted entirely of graphs and tables. The maps covered a relatively narrow range of subjects, with coverage being essentially Canadian resources, the distribution of population, and the communications networks. The Atlas also had street maps of the major cities. There was a strong emphasis on tabular material, both on the map plates and on those plates containing exclusively graphical material.

Purpose

Atlas of Canada Map Archives - 1st Edition maps have been scanned and made available through the Atlas of Canada Web site to facilitate public access.
