Populated Places - The Far West

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows as many populated places in the southern halves of Alberta, British Columbia and a portion of Saskatchewan, as the scale of the map will permit. It also indicates, within certain limits, the number of inhabitants at each place according to the 1956 Census of Canada. The map also distinguishes between those places which were incorporated and those which were not. Therefore, it shows the urban municipalities in those parts of the various provinces covered by the map.
