The map, created in 1885, offers a glimpse into the rich history of transportation in Canada during a pivotal time in its development. The map's vibrant colors and meticulous illustrations highlight the vast network of railway lines that stretched across the country, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

The map's borders extend from the United States to the Arctic, illustrating the ambitious scope of the CPR's expansion. The intricate details include various towns, cities, rivers, lakes, and mountains, offering a fascinating perspective on the geography and topography of Canada during this era. As you delve into the map, you'll notice the presence of several key cities, such as Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, and Vancouver.
