General note:

For ten days the Canadian Corps pursued the German Army across Belgium. They entered Mons the evening of November 10th and less than twelve hours later Armistice was declared. Because the Canadian Corps had continued the war of movement, and since German resistance was largely minimal, map production fell off appreciably. There was simply neither the time nor the requirement for detailed, large-scale maps of the battle field. To some extent this change in the war's progress is reflected in the small number of maps listed in this section.

The original World War I map collection was constituted from various sources at a time when adequate records on provenance were not preserved by the then Public Archives. The present organization in sub-series was devised to accommodate maps found in other fonds and collections, therefore, the list below will include maps that may not be ordered from the present record. Researchers should consult any alternate MIKAN record number that appears below. Maps marked by the letters WWI do belong to the original collection and may be ordered here. Please note though that almost all the maps are available on microfiche and may be consulted on the premises directly from self-serve cabinets.
