Canada Boundaries Historical Map, 1906 Atlas of Canada, 1st Edition
Borders on paper are arguments in ink. This plate from the 1st Edition (1906) of the Atlas of Canada gathers five maps of contested lines, a snapshot of a country still negotiating where it ended and the United States and Newfoundland began.
Two of the five maps concentrate on the Quebec, New Brunswick and Maine area, where the Eastern Canada boundary with the United States was commonly called the Marine boundary from 1783 to 1842. A third traces the Canada and Labrador boundary, the coastal line Canada claimed at the time. Two smaller maps handle offshore claims: one in the Bay of Fundy, the other covering the Gulf Islands, the San Juan water boundary in the Strait of Georgia. Jurisdiction over Newfoundland and Vancouver Island was still unsettled. The plate also shows the major railway systems of the period.
