Dominion of Canada (map, Department of Mines and Resources)
A colour wall map of Canada south of latitude 75 degrees, with provinces and territories outlined, railways in red and a title block naming the Department of Mines and Resources. It carries no slogan or appeal; it is an official reference map. The technique tag is the closest fit only: like any map it shows a selected set of features (boundaries, railways, place names) as the issuing department defined them.
