1906 Quebec, St. John and Winnipeg City Maps
In 1906, only a handful of Canadian cities had passed 25,000 residents. This plate from the Atlas of Canada 1st Edition gathers three of them onto a single sheet: Quebec on the St. Lawrence, St. John on the Bay of Fundy, and Winnipeg at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers.
These maps are documents of the streetcar era. Each city is drawn with its ward divisions, the routes of its electric railways, and its churches marked with small crosses — a shorthand that says a great deal about how these communities were organized and where their neighborhoods clustered. Winnipeg in particular was mid-boom, its grid pushing outward from the CPR yards.
Sourced from Natural Resources Canada and reprinted by Map Shop, this map appeals to Canadian history enthusiasts, genealogy researchers tracing ward-level addresses, and urban historians.
