Sub-sub-series also consists of a mostly-complete collection of the enumerator maps used for the 1961 census. These approximately 30,000 enumerator map card/books, nearly one for each enumeration area, were designed to used by enumerators in the field. See linked accession RG31M 79003/23 for details.
Sub-sub-series includes a booklet for each electoral district containing narrative descriptions of the enumeration area boundaries used for the 1961 census. The booklets often feature the number of farms and/or households, as well as the population, of the enumeration area in 1956 (or an estimation from 1959). The descriptions were also featured in the portable enumerator map book/card collection.Provenance:Additional information:Custodial history:Atlases and 22 loose maps transferred by Statistics Canada in 2007.
