About this piece

The eastern sheet of the Dominion of Canada, an original map from the Royal Atlas of Modern Geography, published by W. & A.K. Johnston in 1909. The sheet is printed in color, with provincial boundaries and coastal waters tinted, within a ruled border graduated for latitude and longitude.

The title, "Dominion of Canada (Eastern Sheet)", is lettered at upper right and states that the sheet comprises New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island with an inset of Newfoundland. The main map covers the southern part of Quebec along the St. Lawrence, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia with Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, with a corner of the neighboring United States at the lower left. The large inset at lower right shows the whole island of Newfoundland with its deeply indented coast, and the southern tip of Labrador and the Strait of Belle Isle appear at the top of the sheet. Bar scales are printed at lower left.

By 1909 Newfoundland was a separate dominion and not part of Canada, which is why it is shown here as an inset to the Canadian sheet.
