Plumper surveys of the area at that time.
One map shows Burrard Inlet, Point Grey, Spanish Bank [sic], Point Atkinson, English Bay, Downtown Peninsula, Coal Peninsula, Brockton Point, First Narrows and False Creek, and proposed government land reserves in these areas. The second map shows Burrard Inlet and Port Moody and proposed government land reserves in this area.
