About this piece

The Province of Ontario and part of Quebec, an original map from the 1882 Blackie atlas, published by Blackie & Son. The title "Canada. The Province of Ontario, and part of Quebec." is engraved at the lower right with scales beneath it, and the plate number 51 is printed in the upper right corner.

The map centers on the Great Lakes shoreline of southern Ontario, with Lake Erie and Lake Ontario at the bottom, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay at the left, and the Ottawa River and the St. Lawrence running through Quebec at the right. Roads, railways, towns and counties are drawn with great density in the settled south, and the relief is shown with hachures. Two printed tables at the left list the counties of Ontario and Quebec. An inset at the upper left shows the environs of Montreal, with its islands, rivers and surrounding villages.

The sheet gives a clear view of Canada West and Canada East as they were after Confederation, with the railway network that tied the Ontario towns to Montreal and the St. Lawrence.
