The first Canadian attempt
at a truly topographic series, the 21 sheets of the Rocky Mountains
were produced using the ground photography system, the standard
method for surveying mountainous areas in Canada from the late
19th century until the mid 20th century. The attractive five colour contour sheets include the boundaries of the townships of the Dominion Land Survey System, the forested areas, surface hydrography, glaciers, roads and hills shading. An index sheet completes this rare series. Few sets of this series exit. The 105mm colour microfiche reproductions offered are made from originals in the National Archives of Canada. |
