[Columbia River project] [cartographic material, textual record]

Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of records created and accumulated by the Map Compilation and Reproduction Division of the Surveys and Mapping Branch.

The sub-series contains material related to the Columbia River project. There are 98 folders containing technical data and correspondence relating to the various phases in the production of the maps and 97 envelopes containing the maps themselves. The files are numbered MS1 to MS97. These maps illustrate the topographical aspect of the Columbia River project, which was a joint Canadian-American effort to harness the Columbia and Fraser rivers for hydro-electric power and to determine whether more extensive development of the resources of the Columbia River Basin was possible and was in the public interest. These maps are final drawings with corrections which mainly concern the toponomy of the area. They also constitute a complete topographical record of the entire region surrounding the Columbia River.
