Explore Canada’s natural wealth and Cold War history through this colorful mid-20th-century pictorial map titled “The Treasure House of Canada.”
Packed with illustrated symbols and historical details, the map identifies important Canadian industries and resources, including petroleum and natural-gas regions, pipelines, mining and mineral deposits, agriculture, pulp and paper production, power development, and the Trans-Canada Highway.
Its most unusual feature is the “Continental Warning Chains” legend showing the DEW Line, Mid-Canada Line, and Pinetree System—the layered radar networks developed during the Cold War to monitor North American airspace. This combination of economic, geographic, and military information makes the map far more interesting than an ordinary vintage road or classroom map.
An eye-catching collectible for enthusiasts of Canadian history, vintage cartography, mining and industrial history, aviation, radar defense, Cold War memorabilia, or mid-century graphic design.
