Two maps of Burrard Inlet

Two maps of Burrard Inlet

Item consists of a tracing of two maps on one sheet, of a map most likely originally drawn in 1859 or 1860. Based on the copied annotations, this tracing appears to be at least a second (or possibly third) generation tracing from the original map created as a result of the H.M.S. 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.
