This set of three maps covers far western and eastern Canada. The western sheet features two handsome maps on one sheet. At top is a map of British Columbia with excellent detail of the region's network of rivers and lakes. Numerous islands off the coast are named. The bottom map focuses on Vancouver Island, identifying several bays, harbors, inlets, and more that do not appear on the map above it. The two eastern sheets include good detail of roads, railroads and counties. Drawn, engraved, and lithographed by Weller.
