1906 Canadian City Plans: Vancouver, Ottawa, Hamilton, London & Halifax
Five city plans on a single sheet, drawn when Canada was still counting its urban population in the tens of thousands. This plate comes from the Atlas of Canada 1st Edition, the government atlas program now carried on by Natural Resources Canada, and gathers Vancouver, Ottawa, Hamilton, London and Halifax at a moment when each had passed 25,000 residents.
The detail is municipal rather than regional: ward divisions, the electric railway lines that shaped early commuting, and a small cross marking every church. Genealogists tracing a Halifax address, urban historians studying streetcar suburbs, and anyone with roots in these cities will find it reads more like a civic record than a decoration.
