The series consists of published and unpublished maps collected and acquired by the Oblates to document properties owned and maintained by the Church, and for reference purposes. The records were used at time of creation and in a retrospective manner. The published maps include geographical, geological and hydrographic materials. The cartographic materials cover a wide range of subjects and locales, including British North America, Canada, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Northwest Territories, the Arctic and Alaska. Specifically, the maps represent missions and mission claims, waterways, indigenous populations, immigration, transportation, Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) forts, sectional maps and technical surveys, cemeteries, properties, towns and communities, ceded indigenous treaties, parks and political settlements, lists of lot owners, railways, and lands for sale by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR).
