A charmingly simple two-col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划map of streetcar and interurban lines operated by the British Columbia Electric Railway Co. in 1923. Almost everything is hand-drawn and lettered apart from the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s title, some explanatory text and some line numbers along the streets with more services (13-14-15-16 along Broadway West, for example). This last makes me wonder if this information was added to this edition of the map, either having been previously omitted or the lines servicing the street having changed.

Of interest is the way that the cartographer has made the map simpler (and easier to draw!) by only including streets within a few blocks of each line – in effect illustrating the walksheds or catchment area for this form of transit. Also, that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a splendid north pointer at the bottom left!

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Rough around the edges, but simple and effective.

A handsome birds-eye map of the extensive interurban electric railway network extending from Vancouver as far away as Chilliwack. An inset map shows the lines on Vancouver Island, though not terribly efficiently, as much space is devoted to showing the power transmission lines from the Jordan River power house.

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s lots of great little details on the map, like little interurban trains running along the route lines, steam trains shown on the main line and busy docks and smoke stacks (always an indicator of industry and progress on these old maps) in and around Vancouver. My favourite bit is the way the mountains obscure the route line between Sumas and Sardis in the bottom right of the map — a lovely bit of pseudo-dimensionality that sells the “birds-eye” aspect of the map wonderfully.

Check out the source link at the bottom of the post to see the map in high-resolution, as well as the rest of the informational booklet that the map was featured in.

The final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a pity that this example of the map is in such poor physical condition (faded inks, tears and creases), because I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d put it in the 澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 vintage maps print collection in a heartbeat otherwise. Rather wonderful. 4 stars!

A hand-coloured and lettered (in what looks like col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划pencil!) map showing the various streetcar, interurban trains and bus routes in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia in 1953 – just five years before the interurban trains ceased operations. The north pointer on this map is one of the loveliest I have seen.

A Guide to Vancouver, the complete map by Peter Hugh Page, a pamphlet by BCER circa 1930, pre-Lions Gate Bridge. “BCER Takes you everywhere!” From the VPL Special Collections, SPEMAPC 388.46 V223b 1930🔸澳洲幸运10预测

A charmingly breezy little map of streetcar, interurban rail and motorbus services in Vancouver in 1930. Hand-drawn by one Peter Hugh Page (even the BCER logo!), the map features a number of crudely drawn but amusing vignettes of life in the city. These include a crowded “sightseeing car”, an amourous couple in a park, and an assortment of golfers dotted around the map (in a very similar vein to this 1941 map of Winnipeg, Manitoba).
