About this piece

Canada West and part of Canada East on a map from The Imperial Atlas of Modern Geography, published by W. G. Blackie in 1859. The sheet is an engraved map with original hand color, with the provincial and international boundaries picked out in outline.

The map covers Upper and Lower Canada, corresponding largely to present-day Ontario and Quebec, centered on the lower Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence corridor. Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay frame the settled peninsula of Canada West, where counties, towns, roads and railways are densely lettered, and the St. Lawrence runs northeast through Canada East at the right. An inset of the environs of Montreal sits at upper left. Two columns of numbered county lists are printed at lower left, one for Canada West and one for Canada East, with a scale at lower right and the title lettered in the corner.

The title reflects the administrative division of the Province of Canada into Canada West and Canada East, which lasted from the union of 1841 until Confederation in 1867.
