Appraisal of Special-Subject Maps of Canada
Introduction
A vast amount of basic intelligence on Canada is provided by
special-subject maps. The subjects that have been mapped are many
and varied, and better maps have been compiled for some subjects than
for others. In the preparation of this report the special-subject
maps on Canada at scales smaller than 1:500,000 that are available
in Washington were reviewed, and the best from the standpoints of
content and presentation of data were selected for discussion.* If
greater detail is required, individual sheets of various topographic
map series (not included in this report) may be consulted. Citations
for all the maps selected for this study are listed in a bibliography
at the end in the same order in which they are discussed in the text.
Pertinent information given includes title, scale, authority, date,
availability, and security classification.
The data shown on special-subject maps can be of considerable
assistance in working on and analyzing problems dealing with Canada.
Maps are important to a clear understanding of the location, dis-
tribution, and relationship of the resources and factors that combine
to make Canada the economically important country that it is.
Until the early 1940's, special-subject maps were prepared
chiefly for the area of Canada south of 75?N, omitting the arctic
islands which make up northern Canada. Furthermore, until Newfoundland
Research completed January 1953.

and Labrador became a part of Canada in 1949, they also were seldom
included. Owing to the importance of these areas, the number of
special-subject maps covering them has increased in the past few years.
The international boundary and the administrative divisions
into which Canada is divided are best presented on a 1951 map that
shows the entire country on a single sheet. For 5 of the 10 provinces
maps are also available that show the internal administrative divisions.
The boundary between the United States and Canada and the
Alaska-Canada boundary, as well as the area claimed by Canada ex-
tending to the geographic North Pole, are shown on a map published in
1951, at 1:6,336,000, entitled Canada. This map, which includes the
entire country on one sheet, also gives the first-order administrative
units into which Canada is divided. The boundaries and names of the
10 provinces, the territories, and the 3 districts of the country are
given, and their areas are emphasized by contrasting colors. The map
is the first to show and name several recently discovered arctic
islands. The base provides a fairly detailed drainage pattern, many
place names, and the alignment of railways, the Alaska Highway, and
the Mackenzie Highway.
The administrative divisions of southern Manitoba are well shown
on a map entitled Map of Manitoba, Southern Portion, at the scale of
1:506,880, which gives the boundaries and names of municipalities
in red and those of the local government districts in purple. The

black-and-white base indicates hydrography, place names, roads,
Indian reserves, forest reserves, and townships.
Map of th? Southern Part of the Province of Saskatchewan at
1:633,600 gives both the boundaries and the official numbers of the
municipalities of southern Saskatchewan superimposed on a base
showing place names, townships, and railroads.
On a detailed, multicolored crap at 1:506,880, entitled The
Southern Part of the Province of Ontario, the boundaries and names of
the counties and districts of the Ontario peninsula are given. Base
data include drainage, townships, two categories of railroads (steam
and electric), canals, roads, provincial forest and park boundaries,
and Indian reserves.
For the Province of New Brunswick, the boundaries and names of
the counties are shown on a map entitled New Brunswick at 1:633,600.
Also indicated. are the boundaries and names of the parishes and town-
ships that comprise the counties. The detailed base includes drainage,
place names, railroads, canals, and game refuges.
The boundaries and names of the districts within Newfoundland
are shown on the Ten Mile Map of Newfoundland at 1:633,600. Although
published in 1941, this is one of the best single-sheet maps avail-
able for the island. The coastline and drainage are shown in detail,
many place names are given, three categories of roads are dif-
ferentiated, railroads are indicated, post offices are located, and
towns and settlements are classified according to population.

The results of the referendum held in Newfoundland on 22 July
1948 to decide the issue of confederation with Canada are given in
percentages by districts on a map entitled Newfoundland, at
1:1,350,000. The base is an outline map that contains no place
names, drainage, railroads, or roads.
II. Population Maps
No one-sheet map of the distribution of population in all of
Canada is available, but several maps cover southern Canada, the
area of densest population concentration. Other maps provide de-
tailed information on population distribution in northern Canada
and parts of southern-Canada. Most of the population maps have been
compiled from 1941 census data, but those of northern Canada are
based on more recent information. At present, no maps are available
that have been prepared from data collected in the 1951 census.
The distribution of population in southern Canada is shown by
dots on a very general map entitled Distribution of Population,
Canada, 1941. Each dot represents 1,000 people. The population of
the major cities is indicated by circles of proportionate sizes and
is also given numerically at the bottom of the map. The percentage of
the total population of Canada in each of the provinces and territories
is presented in graph form.
The best coverage for population of towns in southern Canada
(excluding Newfoundland) is a 15-sheet set at various scales issued
by the Post Office Department. Data are from the 1941 census.

Towns are divided into six population categories, ranging from under
1,000 to over 50,000. The size of type used for the town name indi-
cates the population category. A symbol indicates the type of post-
office facilities available at each town. In addition to the popu-
lation information, the map shows boundaries and names of federal
constituencies and the alignment of railroads.
Population of settlements in the Northwest Territories is given
numerically on a map entitled Distribution of Population, 1950 at
the small scale of 1:12,000,000 (Restricted). The generalized base
on which the population data are shown has also been used as a base
for presenting information on health facilities of northern Canada
(described later).
The distribution of the Eskimo population in northern Canada is
shown on a 1951 map, Canadian Arctic: Eskimo Population, 1950 Estimate.
The map, compiled from data supplied by the Department of Resources
and Development, is included in An Introduction to the Geography
of the Canadian Arctic, published by the Geographical Branch of the
Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, Ottawa, 1951. Areas in-
habited by Eskimos are indicated, and the number of Eskimos in the
various areas are given numerically.
Eskimo Registration Districts of the Northwest Territories
are indicated on a map entitled Northwest Territories and Yukon --
Eskimo Registration Districts, at 1:5,068,000. The district boundaries
are overprinted on a detailed multicolored base published in 1939 by

the Surveys and Mapping Bureau. The base shows trading posts, post
offices, Royal Canadian Mounted Police posts, meteorological re-
porting stations, wireless stations, seaplane anchorages, hospitals,
schools, and aerodromes.
Distribution of population in the prairie provinces -- Alberta,
Saskatchewan, and Manitoba -- is shown by dots on a map at 1:8,500,000
entitled Distribution of Population, Prairie :Provinces, 1946. Each
dot represents 100 people. Cities, towns, and villages with popu-
lations of more than 1,000 are shown by circles of proportionate
sizes. On the base, provincial boundaries and a generalized drainage
pattern, but no place names are included.
The location of foreign groups in the prairie provinces and in
eastern Canada is indicated on a crudely drawn and very general map
with no title. The map, a photostat from A Study of Cool Continental
Environments and their Effects on British and French Settlement,
by Griffith Taylor, London, 1947, is catalogued in the CIA Map Library
under the supplied title "Foreign Culture Groups in the Prairie Pro-
vinces." Each of the foreign culture groups is named. An inset in-
dicates the French population in eastern Canada by shading. On the
outline base, no place names or drainage are :included.
The aistribution of people of foreign origin in the Province
of Manitoba, as well as the increase and decrease in farm population,
is shown on a set of six maps with the supplied title "Distribution
of Population, Manitoba, 1936." Data for the maps were supplied by

the Census Branch of the Canadian Bureau of Statistics and are
plotted by municipalities.
A photostat map entitled Distribution of Population, Newfoundland,
1945 shows population by dots, each of which represents 200 people.
Settlements with a population of more than 3,000 are shown by circles
of proportionate sizes. Although the dots in some areas are so con-
centrated that it is impossible to determine the actual number of
people, the map does indicate areas of population concentration.
The Ten Mile Map of Newfoundland, referred to under Political
Maps, is the best map available for the population of towns and
settlements in Newfoundland. The towns and settlements are classified
according to five population categories, ranging from under 100 to
over 1,000.
The percentage of increase and decrease in the population of
Newfoundland is given by districts on Newfoundland -- Shift in Popu-
lation, 1921 to 1945, at 1:1,350,000. During the period covered,
all but 3 of the 24 districts showed an increase. The outline base,
which includes no place names or drainage pattern, is a photostat
from Newfoundland: A Study in Political Geography, a Clark University
Ph.D. thesis dated 1949.
Few special-subject maps on Labrador are available. The best
map for recent population data is North Atlantic Ocean, Grand Banks
to Davis Strait, Jultural Aspects of Ten Selected Villages (Confi-
dential). The population figures were added to a base, H.O. Chart

villages a notation has been made as to the Summer and winter
population.
III. Health and Health Facility Maps
The few maps that are available showing health and health facili-
ties in Canada are principally for the northern part of the country.
Information on health facilities in northern Canada is pro-
vided by Hospitals and Hospital Service Areas, 1950, at 1:12,000,000
(Restricted). Three types of hospitals are shown, with the number
of beds per hospital. The locations of dentists, medical officers,
doctors, and nursing stations are included. The following types of
hospital service are also shown: hospital service area and popu-
lation, company hospital center and population, and community Red
Cross hospital center and population. The data are plotted in red
on a black-and-white base.
For northern Canada, communities with medical and dental per-
sonnel employed by the Indian Health Service are indicated on a map
at 1:12,000,000 entitled Facilities Provided by Department of National
Health and Welfare -- 1950 (Restricted). Nursing stations are also
located. The information is plotted on the same base as that used
for Distribution of Population, 1950 (Restricted).
Manuscript data on medical facilities of Labrador have been added
to H.O. Chart No. 5619 by the leader of a recent expedition to the

area. (With the additions, the map is Restricted.) The facilities
shown -- hospitals and nursing stations -- are operated by the Gren-
fell Mission, whose headquarters are at St. Anthony's Harbor, New-
foundland.
The American Geographical Society has issued seven maps showing
the distribution of disease throughout the world, which are to be
included in the Atlas of Distribution of Diseases. Of the diseases
mapped, only polio is found in Canada. An inset at 1:30,000,000
on the map entitled Distribution of Poliomyelitis, 1900 to 1950 shows
the distribution of polio in Canada per 100,000 inhabitants.
IV. Agriculture and Land Use Maps
Map coverage of agriculture in Canada is more complete than
that for most other special subjects. Several good one-sheet maps
show the agricultural regions of southern Canada. For provinces
and smaller areas, available coverage consists primarily of photo-
stats of maps from articles in various periodicals and other
publications.
Agricultural areas of Canada are presented in considerable de-
tail on Canada: Types of Farming Areas, at 1:6,336,000. Areas of
production of speciality crops, such as wheat, other grains, dairy
products, livestock, and fruits and vegetables, are shown by colors,
and lighter tones indicate areas where these are grown in combination
with other crops. In addition to information on specific crops
produced, types of farming are indicated according to six categories

by black overprinting. An accompanying text gives, by province, de-
tails of crops raised in small areas. Agricultural data for the
Province of Newfoundland are not included on the map.
A more recent but less detailed map of the agricultural areas
of Canada, including Newfoundland and Labrador, is Canada Exclusive
of Northern Regions,Indicating Main Natural Resources, at li6,336,000.
Four types of agricultural areas -- mixed fanning, grain growing,
grazing, and fruit and special crops -- are differentiated. Mineral
resources and forest areas are also shown. The base map gives the
international and provincial boundaries, a generalized drainage pat-
tern, principal railway lines, and place names.
The general distribution of the various types of farms, crops,
and livestock in Canada as of 1940 and 1941 is presented on a set of
22 maps. These maps, with the supplied title "Farming in Canada,"
are from Types of Farming in Canada, by S. C. Hudson, Ottawa, 1949.
The agricultural data are shown by dots on a black-and-white base,
which gives only the outline of southern Canada, the major lakes,
and province boundaries. No place names are included.
Areas of known arable land in the Yukon, the western part of the
District of Mackenzie, and northern British Columbia and Alberta are
located on a map at 1:5,068,800 entitled Agriculture, published in
Canada's New Northwest, North Pacific Planning Project, Ottawa, 1947.
The base shows the coastline and drainage pattern in detail, and rail-
roads and the Alaska Highway are indicated.

Land suitable for settlement and range and grazing lands in
British Columbia and the Peace River country of Alberta are shown at
1:4,750,000 on British Columbia and Portions of Yukon, Alaska, Alberta,
and Northwest Territories. The area covered is divided into four
regions, which in turn are subdivided into zones. For these divisions,
settlement acreage (economically cultivable land suitable for settle-
ment) and grazing acreage (including range lands in sparse or scattered
forests) are given in a table on the map.
Information as of 1943 on acreage and production of various
agricultural crops in the prairie provinces is supplied by Wheat
Yield Map and Grain Acreage and Production (no scale). Although the
only information mapped is acreage yield of wheat in bushels, tables
on the map provide considerable information on production, acreage,
and value of wheat and other crops by province and crop district.
Sixteen agricultural areas in southern Saskatchewan are outlined
on Types of Farming Areas in Saskatchewan (no scale), and the kinds
of crops and livestock raised are indicated for each area.
Information on wheat yield in southern Saskatchewan is provided
by two maps -- Map of Southern Saskatchewan Showing the Average Yields
of Wheat per Acre by Municipalities, 1918-1935, and Map of Southern
Sakatchewan Showing Average Variability of Wheat Yield per Acre by
Municipalities, 1918-1935. Both are photostats of maps in Technical
Bulletin 40 of the Canadian Department of Agriculture, 1942.

For southern Ontario, data on agriculture' are shown on a set of
seven maps at 1:2,250,000, grouped under the supplied title "Ontario
Peninsula -- Agriculture and Land Use," which are photostats of maps
appearing in Economic Geography, Vol. 14, No. 2, April 1938. Maps
on the following subjects are included: land in farms, farmland in
marsh and other wasteland, farmland that is improved, farmland in
crops, farmland in improved pasture, farmland in woods, and farmland
in unimproved pasture. This information is presented in percentage
of total land or farmland on a base that shows the outline of the area
but no drainage or place names.
Information on farming, particularly dairy farming, in southern
Ontario is provided by a set of maps at 1:2,250,000 photostated from
Economic Geography, Vol. 16, No. 1, January 1940. This set, cata-
logued under the supplied title "Ontario Peninsula -- Dairy Areas and
Production," shows agricultural areas of southern Ontario, principal
dairy areas, gallons of milk produced, and cows in milk or calf. Like
the previous set, these maps have bases that are lacking in detail.
Additional information on land use in southern Ontario is provided
by a map in Report of the Ontario Royal Commission on Forestry, 1947,
entitled Proportion of Waste Land in Southern Ontario. This informa-
tion is presented in percentages on an outline base showing the major
lakes but only a few place names.
The most complete data available in map form on agriculture for
the Province of New Brunswick are provided by a set of 10 maps at

1:3,250,000 with the supplied title "Agricultural Development in
New Brunswick." The topics covered are total land in farmland,
farmland in woods, improved farmland, farmland in field crops, farm-
land in. hay, farmland in oats, farmland in potatoes, farmland in
pasture, dairy cows per 100 acres of farmland, and farm population.
The maps are photostats from Economic Geography, Vol. 15, No. 1,
January 1939. The information is presented on an outline base that
includes neither drainage nor place names.
For the Province of Nova Scotia, a set of 8 maps on 4 sheets,
with the supplied title "Nova Scotia -- Agriculture and Land Use,"
shows at 1:2,250,000 many aspects of agriculture in the province.
Like the set on New Brunswick, the maps are photostats from Economic
Geography, Vol. 15, No. 1, January 1939. The base is an outline of
the province with no drainage or place names shown. The topics
included are: number of dairy cows, farm population, farmland that
is improved, farmland in pasture, farmland in field crops, and farm-
land in orchards.
V. Maps of Animal Life
The best maps showing the location and distribution of wild
life in Canada are one-sheet maps covering the entire country. The
maps are highly generalized, however, and little information is in-
cluded on the bases.

An old, crudely drawn 15-sheet set of maps at various scales,
Distribution of Game and Fur Bearing Matmnals, shows the distribution
of 15 types of animals in Canada. For many of the animals their
former range as well as their range as of 1933 is given, and for
some the distribution of subspecies is also shown. The maps, which
are photostats from the Proceedings of the Fifth Pacific Science
Congress, 1933, Vol. 5, are generalized, and no place names are in-
cluded on the bases.
Fur production in the Mackenzie District of the Northwest Ter-
ritories is shown on a photostat copy of a map in The New Northwest,
edited by C. A. Dawson, Toronto, 1947. The type of animal trapped
is indicated by a letter symbol, the size of which indicates the
number trapped per year. Because it is highly generalized, the map
is of limited use.
The distribution of the principal types of fish found along the
coasts and in the lakes of Canada is presented on Canada Exclusive
of Northern Regions, Indicating Main Natural Resources, at 1:6,336,000.
This map is also referred to in the sections on agricultural maps and
vegetation maps.
VI. Mineral Resources Maps
Many good maps showing minerals and mining areas of Canada are
available. Of particular significance is a one-sheet map published
in 1952 that gives the locations of minerals and mining areas in the

entire country. The coal deposits and coal fields of Canada are
located on both a one-sheet and a two-sheet map. Maps of mineral
occurrences and deposits are available for several of the provinces,
but oil and gas fields are best presented on maps of the principal
producing areas.
Of the available maps on the location of mines and mining areas
in Canada, the most reliable and up-to-date is a 1952 multicolored one-
sheet map entitled Canada: Principal Mining Areas and Producing Mines
Map 900A, at 1:7,603,200. This is one of the few special-subject
maps on which data for Newfoundland and Labrador are incorporated.
In addition the map includes northern Canada, which is omitted
from most one-sheet maps.
Metallic and nonmetallic mineral properties are located by
symbol, and each symbol is keyed by number to an "Index to Principal
Productive Mines." This index is organized by provinces and lists
the operating companies and the minerals produced. Names of mining
camps are printed in red on the map. Additional information given
includes coal properties, oilfields, gasfields, and oil pipelines.
The dollar value of Canadian mineral production by year from 1939
to 1950 is shown in graph form, as well as the value of each of 8
metallic and 10 nonmetallic minerals. The dollar value of mineral
production is given by provinces and territories for metals, fuels,
nonmetallic minerals, and clays and structural materials.

Canada is covered by a map produced by the Water and Power Bureau,
and Newfoundland by a map produced by the Newfoundland Department of
Natural Resources.
Developed and undeveloped waterpower sites in Canada are shown
on a recently published single-sheet map at 1:6,336,000 entitled Water
Powers of the Dominion of Canada. The power sites, which may include
more than one generating station, are indicated, by circles proportionate
to the horsepower capacity. The seven categories of capacity included
range from 1,000 or under to over 2,000,000 hp. This is one of the
few maps on which data for Newfoundland are incorporated. The base
shows the principal rivers, lakes, place names, and province and dis-
trict boundaries, as well as the boundaries of the five geological
regions of Canada.
Six blue-and-white maps at scales ranging from 1:400,000 to
1:1,630,000, prepared by the Dominion Water and Power Bureau, provide
the most complete presentation available on the location of generating
stations for all of the provinces of Canada except Newfoundland.
These maps show both hydroelectric and fuel generating stations, but
horsepower capacity is not indicated. For each sheet a map supple-
ment is available (at the CIA Map Library), which gives the following
pertinent information on each station: name of the generating station,
river on which it is located, horsepower capacity, and name of organi-
zation that owns the station. The maps also show receiving stations,
substations, and electric transmission systems, with the company
operating each indicated.

Developed and undeveloped waterpower sites for the area in-
cluding the Yukon, the western part of the District of Mackenzie, and
the northern parts of British Columbia and Alberta are located on a
map entitled Water Power, at 1:5,068,800. This area is not included
on power maps previously mentioned. The horsepower capacity of the
sites is indicated by circles representing seven categories of capa-
city, ranging from less than 1,000 horsepower to over 1,000,000
horsepower. These symbols are keyed by numbers and letters to tables
in Canada's New Northwest, North Pacific Planning Project, Ottawa,
19)+7. For developed waterpower sites, the owner, the stream, and the
installed horsepower capacity are given; for undeveloped power sites,
the name of the river and the estimated horsepower capacity are
supplied.
The most detailed and up-to-date map presenting power information
for the island of Newfoundland is the black-and-white Map of Newfound-
land Showing Surveyed Water Powers at 1:960,000. Two types of power
sites -- developed and available -- are shown by black circles
accompanied by figures for horsepower capacity or available horsepower
capacity. This map is the principal compilation source for other
maps showing power sites in Newfoundland, none of which, however, is
as detailed as the original. The base gives coastline and drainage
pattern in detail, principal roads, and some place names.

factors are shown on several good one-sheet maps of Canada, as well as
on maps of a few of the provinces.
The Climatic Atlas of North America contains 26 black-and-white
climatic maps at 1:20,000,000. The Canadian parts of these maps were
prepared by A. J. Connor, of the Meteorological Service of Canada,
and his staff. Maps on the following subjects are included: sea-
level temperatures, actual temperature, mean annual range of tempera-
ture, mean annual maximum temperature, mean annual minimum temperature,
mean annual sea-level pressures, mean annual rainfall, mean rainfall
for 6 months of the year (every other month), mean annual snowfall,
average relative humidity for January and July, daytime cloudiness for
January and July, and mean number of days a year with thunderstorms.
These data are plotted on a generalized base that shows drainage and
province boundaries. No place names are included.
Three of the seven sections into which the Ice Atlas of the
Northern Hemisphere is divided contain maps showing various types of
ice conditions that occur in the seas surrounding Canada, as well as
in the Canadian rivers. The maps in the first section, which covers
the Northern Hemisphere, show 5 types of sea ice based on navigability,
3 categories of the limits of ice, and the location of icebergs and
floating ice for each month of the year. Also included in this section
are 5 maps that show 3 categories of the limits of ice based on data
from 1898 to 1938 for each month from April to August.

The second section of the atlas contains three maps of the
Northern Hemisphere that show river ice in relation to navigation.
The aspects covered are the average date of closing of rivers to
navigation due to ice, the average opening date of rivers for
navigation, and the average annual number of days rivers are closed
by ice.
The maps of the third section, which covers the Grand Banks
region, show four types of ice based on navigability for each month
of the year. In addition the extreme limit of ice and the average
number of icebergs and growlers (small icebergs) are indicated. For
selected locations in the Grand Banks region, summary tables of ice
data are included. For each location the following information (if
available) is supplied in tabular form: date of first appearance of
ice, average date of closing and opening of navigation, date of final
disappearance of ice, annual number of days closed to navigation,
average annual number of days with ice, and average maximum thickness
of ice.
The bases for the maps in the atlas resemble H.O. charts and
are printed in black and white or black and gray, with ice information
indicated by other colors.
The best map available showing the location of weather stations
for Canada is Stations Reporting Synoptic Observations (no scale).

The weather stations of northern Canada, many of which. are
operated jointly by the United States and Canada, are best shown on
a map entitled Northwest Territories -- Transportation and Communica-
tions at 1:10,000,000.
Precipitation stations in Canada are located by dots on Stations
Recording Precipitation, May 19+7 (no scale). The base,which is the
same as that used for stations reporting synoptic observations, has
also been used for maps showing stations that record maximum and
minimum temperatures, and stations that record wind and sunshine.
Northern Canada is not included.
The mean annual temperature for Canada is given on a map at
1:13,500,000, entitled Canada Mean Annual Temperature in Degrees
Fahrenheit Four Feet Above Ground, which is more recent than the map
included in the Climatic Atlas of North America. Isotherms are plotted
in blue on a black-and-white base that covers all of Canada. The
map is reprinted from an article by John L. Jenness, "Permafrost in
Canada," which was orginally published in Arctic (the journal of the
Arctic Institute of North America), Vol. 2, No. 1, May 1949.

The best information in map form on permafrost in Canada is
found on Permafrost in Canada, Its Distribution and Approximate
Southern Limit, at 1:13,500,000. The data for the map were com-
piled by John L. Jenness for the article in Arctic. In addition to
indicating the tentative southern limit of continuous permafrost, the
map shows areas of continuous permafrost, areas where patches of
permafrost have been reported, and areas where permafrost has been
reported absent.
Five photostat maps from Technical Bulletin 40 and Technical
Bulletin 52 published by the Canadian Department of Agriculture present
climatic data for southern Saskatchewan. The maps show by isopleths
the average precipitation in inches for the period April to October,
the average length of the growing season in days, the average length
of period in days between the last killing frost of spring and first
killing frost of fall, and the mean temperature in summer (June, July,
and August). Average annual precipitation is indicated by shading.
The bases used for these maps have little detail and few place names.
Two photostat maps from Economic Geography, Vol. 15, No. 4,
October 1939, provide climatic information on New Brunswick. The mean
annual rainfall, as well as rainfall in the summer half of the year,
is shown by isohyets on an outline map that contains a minimum of base
data. On a similar base, July mean temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
is shown by isotherms, and number of days in the frost-free period are

Temperature and rainfall data for the province of Nova Scotia
are presented on two maps printed on one sheet, which were photostated
from Economic Geography, Vol. 15, No. 1, January 1939. The average
July temperature for Nova Scotia is shown by isotherms plotted on an
outline base on which the number of days in the frost-free season is
also indicated. Mean annual precipitation and rainfall during the
summer half of the year are shown by isopleths on a similar base.
The most recent and best maps on the climate of Newfoundland are
those included in an article entitled "The Climate of the Island of
Newfoundland," by F. Kenneth Hare, published in the Geographical
Bulletin, No. 2, 1952. The climatic data are superimposed on a base
that includes hypsometric tints and place names. The following
aspects of climate are included:
Mean air temperature, January
Mean monthly maximum temperature, January
Mean monthly minimum temperature, January
Mean air temperature, July
Date of beginning of persistent thaw
Date of beginning of persistent frost
Duration of season of persistent thaw
Mean annual precipitation (inches)
Mean annual snowfall (inches)
Start of vegetative season
Duration of vegetative season
Mean annual potential evapotranspiration (inches)
Moisture index
Moisture surplus (inches)
The frequency of fog over the marine approaches to Newfoundland for
June, July, August, and September is shown on an outline map of
Newfoundland and surrounding area.

XIII. Soils Maps
Complete map coverage of the soils of Canada is not available,
but soils maps have been prepared for British Columbia, Alberta, and
southern Saskatchewan.
On British Columbia, Tentative Soil Zone Map at 1:3,350,000,
grassland, forest, alpine, and alluvial soils regions are identified.
The soil zones and subzones within the first three regions are
further subdivided, making a total of 15 categories of soils shown
on the nmap. A large part of the total area of the province, especially
in the north, has been left blank because the soils have not been
explored.
Soil zones of Alberta, as established by the Provincial Soils
Survey, are shown by colors on a Department of Lands and Mines base
map, which includes drainage, the transportation network, and place
names. Each of the six zones identified is discussed briefly on the
basis of climate, vegetation, fertility, and land use.
Four soil zones in southern Saskatchewan are shown on Map of the
Province of Saskatchewan Showing the Main Soil-Climatic Zones. This
photostat map from Technical Bulletin 40 of the Canadian Department
of Agriculture has only enough base data for orientation purposes.
XIV. Vegetation Maps
The distribution of forest regions is shown on two maps, both of
Canada south of 75?N. One of these gives a detailed forest

classification, the other is more generalized. Maps showing vegetation
are available for only a few of the provinces of Canada.
The best and most detailed map available showing the distribution
of forests in Canada is Forest Classification of Canada and the Coast
of Labrador, a multicolored map at 1:6,336,000. Eleven forest regions
are differentiated by color, and the approximate boundary between the
eastern and western divisions of the boreal forest is shown. The
map was made to accompany A Forest Classification for Canada, Canada
Forest Service Bulletin 89, by W. E. D. Halliday, 1937.
The distribution of forests in Canada is also shown on a more
recent (1950) map entitled Canada Exclusive of Northern Regions,
Indicating Main Natural Resources at 1:6,336,000. This map is not
as detailed as the forest classification map. It shows only five
types of forest, but data for Newfoundland are included. In addition
to vegetation, mineral resources and agricultural areas are indicated.
The areal extent of seven species of trees is shown on a blue-
and-white map of Canada entitled Ranges of Various Tree Species in
Canada. The data, supplied by W. E. D. Halliday of the Canadian
Privy Council Office, are plotted on a base at 1:6,336,000 published
by the Surveys and Mapping Branch.
Five regional types of forests for the area including the Yukon,
the western District of Mackenzie, northern British Columbia, and
northern Alberta are shown on Forest Types, at 1:5,068,000, from
Canada's New Northwest, North Pacific Planning Project, Ottawa, 1947.

The percentage of wooded land in the Ontario peninsula is mapped
on Proportion of Wooded Land in Southern Ontario (no scale). This
map, which is from Report of the Ontario Royal Commission on Forestry,
1947, indicates wooded land according to five categories of percent-
ages. The outline base gives the major lakes and a few place names.
The distribution of moss-barren land in Newfoundland is shown
on a map entitled Newfoundland, General Location of Barren Land, from
An Introduction to the Geography of Newfoundland, by B. V. Gutsell,
Geographical Bureau, Ottawa, 1949.
