Title: British Columbia / G.G. Aitken, Chief Geographer: 1923 Commercial Map of B.C.
Description: British Columbia: Land Recording Office, 1923 to 1925. 1923 to 1925. - A superb 28 inch wide by 37 inch wide commercial folding wall map of British Columbia produced under the supervision of G.G. Aitken, Chief Geographer of the Land Recording Divisions. Produced during British Columbia's period of economic growth following the First World War, the map exhaustively details telegraph, phone, and railroad lines with an index of post offices and a table of distances. The map, with color outlines, offers details of cities, towns, and villages within the province with a table of distances by ship, rail and road to destinations within Canada and across the world printed along the left. There is a short tear along and near the top fold on the right side and a few tiny holes at the junction of some of the central folds. The edges are slightly creased and there are some light stains to the verso. Very good.

Titled at top right in red & black, and published in 1923 with a later addition of a subtitle stamped or printed in blue: "Blocks referred to in the Schedule of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, Aid Act, 1925 (Chapter 39, Statutes 1925) are outlined in Green". Very good .
