NTR 1920 Notes by the Way, Part 2 - Cochrane to Winnipeg

 
Maps, maps, maps! The newly-granted ability to present a large map as a large image has become the theme this time.

Along with the circa 1920 description of the National Transcontinental, Cochrane to Winnipeg, I am enjoying the ability to present very large maps from a 1915 Canadian government atlas which match the territory ... so you can see the details.

After we 'reach' Winnipeg in the booklet, you'll find a similar map of Manitoba, ranging out to Rivers, Brandon, Dauphin and down to the border.

As always ... this is a very large atlas so the images are generally composites of numerous partial scans and the Cochrane area is printed over the atlas 'gutter'. So there is some blurring and darkening in certain spots.



The post containing the first half of this booklet is here:

The pages which set the stage for the westbound trip through Ontario are repeated below. So you may have already read the content of the first couple of images below.
