Montreal and Toronto, 1906 – Atlas of Canada, 1st Edition
In 1906, Montreal and Toronto were the only Canadian cities the Atlas of Canada bothered to map in detail, and this single plate holds them both. Drawn when each had passed 25,000 residents, it shows the two cities at the moment their electric railway lines were reshaping how people moved through them.
This reproduction comes straight from the 1st Edition of the Atlas of Canada, published by Natural Resources Canada. Each city plan marks the ward divisions used for municipal elections and representation, traces the electric railway routes, and pinpoints churches with a small cross symbol, giving you a snapshot of civic and parish geography in Quebec’s and Ontario’s largest cities before the automobile era.
Map Shop prints it on premium paper, with laminated, foam core mounted, railed, and framed finishes available in black or walnut molding. It reads well in a study, a law office, or a local history collection, and Montrealers and Torontonians tend to find their own neighborhood on it within seconds.
