Description: A map from 1914 of Manitoba showing the provincial capital of Winnipeg, major cities and towns, county boundaries, Indian reservations, existing and proposed railroads, terrain features, lakes, and rivers. Although this map is from 1914, it shows the province boundaries prior to the territorial expansion in 1912 north to the Hudson Bay. At this time, Manitoba was referred to as the "Postage–stamp Province." A grid–key in the margin references the locations of principal cities and towns, and the counties and divisions of Manitoba.
