	abstract = {A loose grouping of four sections is adopted: Research Background, Exploring the Coasts; Routes and Patterns of Settlement; Survey and Resources. In Research Background the reader is given a comprehensive overview of the study of the history of cartography in Canada, value of maps as sources of evidence and one of the very few studies of a cartographic printing house. Exploring the Coasts assembles material on the mapping of both the east and west coasts of Canada. It begins with an essay on Cabot's landfall deduced from the limited evidence of the period and continues with two studies on the mapping of the coastline of Nova Scotia. The well-documented west coast surveys of Cook and Vancouver are then discussed. The section ends with an account of the contribution of officers of the Hydrographic Survey to the scientific delineation of the west coast. Using New Brunswick, Ontario and British Columbia as examples, Routes and Patterns of Settlement encompasses studies of the mapping that took place as settlement progressed and cities grew. Questions are raised about how much can be learned from a map despite a lack of planimetric accuracy. Two chapters in this section are devoted to characteristic North American cartographic products: 19th century county atlases and fire insurance plans. Survey and Resources focusses on the valued input of professional surveyors ranging from David Thompson to the men on the CANOL Project survey of recent times. The role of new mapping agencies such as the Department of the Interior and the Geological Survey are touched upon in the essays on Wheeler's and Murray's topographic survey work. The study on the Kootenay area documents the evolution of the mapping of that area from the period controlled by British colonial institutions to that under the established authority of provincial agencies. -from Editors},
