About the Item
Antique Map of Manitoba, Canada – Rand McNally, circa 1888
Description:
This antique map of Manitoba was published by Rand, McNally & Co. around 1888. It offers a detailed look at the province during a period of rapid settlement and railway expansion, just over a decade after Manitoba entered Canadian Confederation in 1870.
The map spans from the U.S. border northwards past Lake Winnipeg, with settlements, municipalities, and townships neatly laid out in the survey grid system typical of the prairies. The Red River, Assiniboine River, and Lake Winnipeg dominate the geography, with numerous smaller rivers and lakes carefully engraved.
Railways are prominently featured in red and green, with the Canadian Pacific Railway forming the backbone of transportation, linking Winnipeg to the rest of Canada. Branch lines extend outward across the province, reflecting the rapid growth of agriculture and commerce in the late 19th century. Winnipeg, Brandon, and Portage la Prairie are among the key towns highlighted.
This map is valuable not only for its geographical precision but also for its historical significance, capturing Manitoba during a formative era of expansion, immigration, and economic development. It is a fine piece for collectors of Canadian cartography, prairie history, or 19th-century railway maps.
