Toronto | Canada | 1915 | Vintage Map

€49,00

The historical city map "Toronto" shows the Canadian metropolis on the shore of Lake Ontario as it appeared around 1915. The map divides the urban area into seven numbered wards, making the administrative division at that time clearly comprehensible.

Numerous districts are recognizable, such as North Toronto with Bedford Park and Eglinton, the rural Fairbank, West Toronto, Bracondale, and the noble Rosedale and Deer Park in the northeast. A dense network of electric streetcar lines crisscrosses the urban area, complemented by several railway lines, including the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk Railway, which highlight Toronto's central transportation importance.

Along the waterfront, the harbor, the Exhibition Grounds, Stanley Barracks, and the islands with Hanlan's Point are marked. In the city center, significant institutions such as the Parliament Building, Queen's Park, the University, and numerous cemeteries, including Mount Pleasant Cemetery, can be found. Humber Bay and Ashbridge's Bay with the then-planned industrial area are also shown.

This detailed map is ideal as a decorative wall hanging or as a gift for those interested in urban history, map collectors, and anyone with a special connection to Toronto.
