R.C. 9/5/83
This map shows the C.P.R. line, surveyed lines, projected lines and Indian reserves. Above the map title appears "Bob No. 60". Below appears: "Note: Where no surveys of Dominion Lands have been made the topography is shown according to explorations by Dr. G.M. Dawson and J. McEvoy of the Geological Survey of Canada. The date 1888 has been supplied to this map because the C.P.R. was completed to Vancouver and New Westminster by December 1887, and a C.P.R. branch was built from Mission to United States in 1889 (See Note 1). The latter does not appear on the map. Therefore 1888 seems a likely date.
