Scope and content

The map shows the Greater Vancouver district, Point Grey, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, South Vancouver, and Burnaby - in 1886. In correspondence, the legend and map display railroads, paved streets, schools, and buildings. Uniquely, the map shows the city divided by Postal Block numbers and half mile circles that radiate from City Hall on the corner of Main and Hastings. The Westernmost road on the map is Marine Drive and the easternmost is Columbia Street. Northernmost road on the map is Dempsey Street, and the Southernmost point is No. 20 Road.

A detailed compass, in the bottom left hand corner of the map, shows Magnetic North. The annotation M.49 appears in the bottom right hand corner and the top left hand corner of the map. Two copies of the map are available, one a blue line the other a linen copy.
