Description
This colorful map of Banff, Alberta provides an interesting overview of the resort town in the Canadian Rockies. The image, oriented with south at the top, presents a simple street plan of downtown, with numerous businesses and accommodations labeled.
Surrounding the map are a collection of illustrated vignettes that showcase the varied geography and numerous recreational opportunities available. The verso presents an abstract road map of the Trans-Canada Highway between Banff and Kamloops. The completion of the route through Rogers Pass was accomplished shortly before publication, opening the area to mass motor tourism for the first time.
