Student Activity #2: Royal Tour Map

I have decided to assemble a map of the colonies visited by the Prince of Wales in 1860 (see p. 9 in Canada: A Story of a Developing Nation for an overview map). I feel that this will help me to recall important details and organize my impressions for my Royal Tour album. I know that cartographers have already drawn several maps of British North America (see http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/nmc/n141864k.jpg) but I want to focus on other aspects not always included in these maps.

I’m really getting interested in Canada, so I’ve decided to include Rupert’s Land, British Columbia, and the North-West Territories, even though the tour won’t visit those areas.

Your task: Provide Will with the various maps and data he will need to compile his overall map. See (http://www.geography.about.com/) for an outline map of a specific colony or territory. Your map should include:

• major settlements and geographical features
• population data in graph form (see p. 6 of in Canada: A Story of a Developing Nation
• symbols representing three major industries or exports
• illustration (drawn or inserted) with caption, depicting an important social aspect of the area
• graphic symbolizing whether any railways had yet been constructed in the colony or territory http://imagescn.technomuses.ca/photoessays/railways/railways06.ctm
  

Remember: your graphic and statistical information MUST be from the correct time frame -- around 1860.
