About this sheet
The western sheet of the Dominion of Canada, from the Royal Atlas of Modern Geography, published by W. and A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London in 1909. The sheet is an original engraving printed in color, with the title "Dominion of Canada (Western Sheet)" and the scale at the upper right.
The map shows British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in their modern boundaries, with Keewatin, Mackenzie and the other Northwest Territories to the north and western Ontario at the right edge. Alberta and Saskatchewan had been made provinces in 1905, and the sheet shows them as such. The coast of British Columbia and Vancouver Island appears with its inlets at the left, the Rocky Mountains are drawn in hachures, Hudson Bay appears in pale green at the right, and railways cross the prairie provinces. The northern United States is faintly drawn along the lower edge.
The Johnston atlas sheets are known for their clean, detailed engraving.
