The final map in Palliser’s Report is one of the most visually attractive and most significant maps ever published of the area From Lake Superior to the Pacific Ocean. Material from it was often incorporated in other maps in future years. A very clearly conceived map, it is carefully organized, coping gracefully and seemingly effortlessly with a tremendous amount of information. Perhaps a considerable part of the credit for this map should go to Stanford’s Geographical Establishment, which produce it. The map shows the gross natural patterns of the interior extraordinarily effectively. The three prairie steppes, and the great vegetation, climatic, and land capability divisions, including the Fertile Belt for which Palliser is so famous, are all clearly delineated. Many of the major relief features are exaggerated. Geologic features are usually mentioned in descriptive annotations printed on the body of the map, and there are also interpretive remarks such as the reference to the Ancient Lake bottom in the Red River Plain. Some cultural features are shown, the population of Fort Garry is given, and there are very many Place names. There are errors of location, amounting to over 10 miles in some instances, but by and large the main features are accurately enough related to one another so that one is not bothered by these mistakes. The map does tie together a tremendous amount of material on the West in an appealing format. It is truly a masterful example of the cartographer’s craft. (Warkentin and Ruggles.
