Description
This lovely map of the Canadian Rockies shows the beautiful tourist region between Banff and Golden in British Columbia. It was published by the Canadian Pacific Railways to promote tourism during the 1937 season, as the Great Depression continued to affect passenger traffic on railroads across North America.
The central image shows a colorful overview of the regional topography, noting luxurious grand railway hotels, modest hunting and fishing lodges, and other locations of interest. A profile of the mountain peaks can be seen immediately below, though the apparently modest elevation changes are in reality quite significant!
