Rare early map of the Province of Manitoba, published by its provincial government.
This map of Manitoba, published by the Provincial Government, provides a snapshot of the established and emerging features of the province in the last decade of the 19th Century. Clearly marked on the map are the locations of schools, post offices, grain elevators and rail stations, which are linked through the evolving transportation network of both constructed and projected railway lines. All of these features are clearly back dropped by the multicolored Rural Municipal regions, as they existed in 1891.
The map was reissued in 1897 and 1901, with significant changes. The 1897 and later editions extend a bit further northward. Among the earliest separate maps of Manitoba. The map is apparently very rare, with no examples listed in OCLC.
