Historical Atlas of Canada: Canada's History Illustrated with Original Maps |
| The Historical Atlas of Canada covers a period of a thousand years and contains the historically significant maps of Canada gathered from major archives and libraries around the world, including treasures of the National Archives of Canada-many never before published-and the archives of the Hudson's Bay Company. The atlas tells Canada's history using maps that depict the seizing of an empire and the settlement of the prairie, of war and wanderlust, battles and boundaries, forts and the fur trade, river communications and railway surveys, rebellion and gold rushes. | |
| All of the major cities in Canada are represented, including the map attached to the treaty purchasing Toronto from the Indians. Many of the maps are artistic, some utilitarian, but all are included for their historical significance and the stories they tell. The result is an understanding of Canada's past from a profoundly new perspective. |
