Railway Freight Traffic

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows three condensed maps of Canadian railway traffic circa 1954. Net tons per mile of road operated are indicated. 'Net tons per mile of road operated' is to be understood as meaning that, in 1954, the total net freight passing any point on a given line was of the tonnage indicated by the flow line at that point. In a few areas on the maps, traffic carried by lines closely paralleling each other and providing duplicate service between the same points is indicated by one pair of flow lines only. The flow data is broken down to show flow direction (either east and south or west and north). Data for freight carried by Canadian railways in the United States of America were not available.

Major Roads

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the status of major Canadian roads and ferry routes circa 1955. Roads are indicated as being paved, gravel or improved. The majority of the roads are provincial highways. Each provincial highway is identified by its highway number. The map highlights the Trans-Canada Highway, which was under development in the 1950s. The portions of this road, on this map, are classed on the basis of road surface, and also on their construction status. Note that no portion of this highway is shown for Quebec as that province was not a party to the Federal-Provincial agreements concerning construction of the highway in the 1950s. The map also has a large table showing road distances between major centres in Canada.

Air Passenger Traffic

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the flow of air passenger traffic for major companies circa 1953. Where more than one company operates over the same route, the traffic has been combined to show the total traffic over that route. It should also be noted that the flow lines on this map do not necessarily follow actual routes and they should, therefore, be considered as diagrammatic only. The second map shows the labour force engaged in transportation and communication according to the 1951 Census. The data on which this map is based includes all persons, regardless of their occupation, who were employed in the operations of air transport and airports; bus and coach transportation; railways (including express and telegraph services); taxi cabs; truck and water transportation; and services incidental to all forms of transportation, grain elevators, storage and warehouse facilities, radio broadcasting and telephone services.

Domestic Trade, Finance and Construction

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows a map of six condensed maps of employment and related patterns for the leading service sectors as compiled from the 1951 Census. There are two maps referring to wholesale trade. One of them shows the distribution of the labour force engaged in wholesale trade. This is shown by a dot pattern using one dot for every 200 people of this labour force, and using proportional symbols for all places employing 2 000 or more. The other wholesale trade map shows percentage of net value of sales from wholesale trade in each census division. There are two similar maps of retail trade. One, showing the distribution of labour force, uses the same mapping procedure as that of wholesale trade. The second map shows retail trade as a percentage of net value of sales for each census division. The fifth map shows the distribution of the construction labour force, using the same mapping concepts as for the wholesale trade map. There is an associated pie chart showing the types of construction this labour force engages in. The sixth map shows the distribution of labour force in the fire, insurance and real estate industries, again using the mapping concepts used for the wholesale trade map. This map is accompanied by a pie chart showing employment in the various industries of this group (such as in banking).

Furs, Whaling and Fish Processing

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows 14 condensed maps including large scale selected areas, and smaller scaled maps of Canada. The six maps in the top left portion of this plate illustrate the number of pelts taken in the 1950/1951 furring season by province and territory for the following animals: wild beaver, wild and ranch raised mink, wild ermine, wild muskrat, wild and ranch raised fox, and wild squirrel. An additional summary map shows the pelts taken for all fur bearing animals in the 1950/1951 furring season. The map in the bottom left portion of this plate shows the distribution of fur farms, and the distribution of fur trading establishments. As trapping was carried on in nearly all parts of Canada, establishments licensed to buy furs were found throughout the country. However, only those outside the main, generally settled areas were shown individually on this map. Several maps on the upper right portion of this plate deal with sealing, whaling and fish processing. The first of these maps shows the migration route of harp seals and separately indicates the number of pups and adult harp seals caught annually by Canadians as of the 1958 publication date of this atlas plate. The next map shows the species distribution of whales on the West Coast and the location of a whaling station. Another map shows fin whale migration routes and the location of a fin whale whaling station as well as two pilot whale whaling stations on the East Coast. This map also indicates where pilot whales were abundant or frequently found. It should be noted that the locations of whaling stations shown on these maps is as of the 1958 publication date of this atlas plate. Two other maps show the distribution of fish processing plants for the East and West Coasts. The final map, on the bottom right portion of this plate shows the distribution of the 1951 labour force engaged in fishing and trapping.
