Description
The Atlas of British Columbia is the first major
cartographic study of the province to be published since 1956. Created
through close co-operation between government, the private sector, and
the unviersity, it is the successor to the British Columbia Atlas
of Resources which, for twenty years, has been the standard
reference work used by schools, industry, government, and the general
public.
The most recent data available have been used to give an accurate,
comprehensive picture of British Columbia's economy as it is today.
Comparative studies show the development orf the province's
manpower and natural resources as well as the rapid growth of industry
and technology since the beginning of the century. In party, the
emphasis of the atlas reflects thousands of specific requests for
up-to-date resource information rercorded over the last ten years.
