Color: Color Condition: VG+ Size: 57 x 47 inches Price: SOLD Description: An Early Official Map of the Province of British Columbia Highly detailed large format map of British Columbia, compiled and drawn by Gotfred Jörgensen, under the direction of George Martin, the Commissioner of Lands and Works. First published in 1895, Gotfred Jörgensen's map was the the first major update to the maps produced by the Department of Lands and Works in the mid-1880s, and a substantial enlargement and improvement on the earlie works. Published in Victoria by Montreal, Sabiston Lith & Pub. Co., it became the largest and most highly detailed map of the Province published during the 19th Century. The map extends from Vancouver and the southern part of Alaska in the west to Alberta, identifying a number of Districts, including Kootenay District (East and West Division), Yalke District (with Yale Division, Kamloops Division and Osoyoos Division), New Westminster District, Lillooet District, Coast District, Cariboo District, and Cassiar District. Vancouver Island is also divided into Districts (Rupert District, Sayward District, Nootka District, Clayoquot District, Barcay District and Rentfray District. The map shows the extend ot the Canadian Government Township Surveys, with relatively little land surveyed and mostly concentrated in teh south and west. Eary railroad, trails and roads are shown, along with Land Recording Offices, Mining Recording Offices, Post Offices, Telegraph Offices, Indian Villages, Mining Camps, Mining Settlements and Important Road Stations, Missions, Hudson Bay Company Posts, Drawer Ref: Folding Maps Stock#: 29278 Page 1 of 2 Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps Inc. 7407 La Jolla Boulevard www.raremaps.com (858) 551-8500 La Jolla, CA 92037 [email protected] Map of the Province of British Columbia -- Compiled By Direction of The Honourable G.B. Martin Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works . 1895 etc. On July 20, 1871, that British Columbia became the sixth province to join Canada. In return for entering Confederation, Canada absorbed B.C.'s massive debt, and promised to build a railway from Montreal to the Pacific Coast within 10 years, ending a period in which the residents also considered joining the United States or remaining a British Colony. The last spike of the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven in Craigellachie in 1885. Early Government Mapping of British Columbia Most of the early maps of the Province of British Columbia were produced by the Department of Lands and Works, beginning about 1884. The Department was established in 1871, in order to survey and adminster the province. Gotfred Jorgensen produced several maps in this time period, including Sectional map of the northern portion of Vancouver Island (1893) ; Map of Portion of Osoyoos District: British Columbia (1893) ; Map of Victoria British Columbia showing subdivisions on official record up to 1893 (1893) ; Sketch map of the southern portion of British Columbia indicating chief means of communications; and Map of the South- eastern Districts of Vancouver Island (1905) Rarity The map is very rare. We were only able to locate the copie in the Bancroft Library, University of British Columbia, Vancouver Public Library and the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. We note that a map with the same title and size, dated 1905, was offerd for sale in 1966 in a Dora Rideout Hood Catalog in 1966 ($25.00). Detailed Condition: Dissected and laid on linen, with paste down labels showing the map seller as Edward Stanford Drawer Ref: Folding Maps Stock#: 29278 Page 2 of 2.

  • Building of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails Researched and Written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2010; Updated Dec 2012 and Dec 2013
    Early Trail Building in the New Colony of British Columbia — John Hall’s Building of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails Researched and written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2010; updated Dec 2012 and Dec 2013. A recent “find” of colonial correspondence in the British Columbia Archives tells a story about the construction of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails between 1862 and 1864 by pioneer settler John Hall. (In 1870 Hall pre-empted 160 acres of Crown Land on Indian Arm and became Belcarra’s first European settler.) The correspondence involves a veritable “who’s who” of people in the administration in the young ‘Colony of British Columbia’. This historic account serves to highlight one of the many challenges faced by our pioneers during the period of colonial settlement in British Columbia. Sir James Douglas When the Fraser River Gold Rush began in the spring of 1858, there were only about 250 to 300 Europeans living in the Fraser Valley. The gold rush brought on the order of 30,000 miners flocking to the area in the quest for riches, many of whom came north from the California gold fields. As a result, the British Colonial office declared a new Crown colony on the mainland called ‘British Columbia’ and appointed Sir James Douglas as the first Governor. (1) The colony was first proclaimed at Fort Langley on 19th November, 1858, but in early 1859 the capital was moved to the planned settlement called ‘New Westminster’, Sir James Douglas strategically located on the northern banks of the Fraser River.

  • The Photographic Record of Pre- Con F Ederation British Columbia
    The Photographic Record of Pre- Conf ederation British Columbia by JOAN M. SCHWARTZ The research potential of historical photographs has not yet been fully realized despite growing interest in a wide variety of primary, often unconventional source materials. Nineteenth-century photographs have traditionally been used to corroborate manuscript findings or to illustrate written text, satisfying the anthropologist studying Indian burial customs, the architectural historian searching for Classical bank facades, the social historian investigating modes of dress and the historical geographer examining man's impact on the natural landscape. Such researchers have sought specific information pertinent to their particular interests, but have left the broader significance of the detail and range of subjects unexplored. Recently it has been clearly acknowledged that "a photograph is a document, and the historian's first business is to ask of it, as he would of any other record, who made it, to whom it was addressed, and what it was meant to convey."' If the integrity of historical photographs has been recognized, few studies anywhere have employed photographs as a pri- mary source. A description of the photographic record of British Columbia before its entry into Confederation in 1871 and a subsequent commentary on its contents suggest the research opportunities and historical significance of archival photographic colle~tions.~ Nineteenth-century photographs constitute valuable evidence supporting the study of land and life in early British Columbia where pioneering proceeded under the camera's eye almost from the beginning of white settlement. The first photographic gallery was established in Victoria soon after the Fraser River gold rush began in 1858.
