"The Atlas of Canada, first edition published by the Department
of the Interior in 1906, was one of the world's first national atlases. A
second edition similar in style and content was published in 1915, both editions,
featuring thematic maps dealing with Canada's geology, communications, natural
resources, population, economic activities, transportation, as well as maps
of principal cities. During this period, a major part of Canada's growth
was due to the great influx of immigrants into Canada, many of them coming
to open up the farmlands of the Prairies. Consequently, the first two editions
of the Atlas of Canada reflect a particular interest in transportation and
communications and devote a significant amount of space to mapping the
composition and density of the population. Bound in half leather brown covered
boards with "Department of Interior 1906 Atlas of Canada." in
gilt."
