A thread was recently started in the London section, but I thought it would be interesting to see historical maps of any kind, from across Canada. I am currently reading the Historical Atlas of Toronto, by Derek Hayes, which has some great examples! But I would love to see more, that demonstrate the development of our cities, provinces/territories, and nation.

Here's some to start

This one shows southwestern Ontario in 1957. Only a small section of the 401 has been completed.

Alberta and Saskatchewan from 1911

Shows just how important the railways were in the development of communities back in the day

I have a small collection of historic maps from Quebec, more from Ontario though.

This is a photo from the inset of the 1957 Official Quebec Tourist Map

I'd love to see some maps from later in the 50s and 60s showing the development of the Autoroute network.

I'm actually in the process of reading the Historical Atlas of Vancouver and the Lower Fraser Valley from the library which features some amazing old maps. Maybe I'll scan a few of 'em if I get around to it.
Here's a teaser here:

I would love to read that book. Looks like it was written by the same author as the Historical Atlas of Toronto, which I am currently reading. It's got some excellent maps in it!

Here's a teaser for it.

That's great, I own a house on Pennywell / Fitzpatrick (proposed street on that map) that was originally built in the 1920s and can clearly see the property there, I've always wondered how long there has been a dwelling on that spot.
