1962 Map of Quebec

About this map

St. Lawrence River dominates the landscape as it flows between the metropolitan centers of Quebec, Levis, and Lauzon. This 1962 road and rail data shows a region defined by its industrial transit and river access, where the Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway meet at major junctions. To the north, the Valcartier Military Reserve borders the rising Laurentian Mountains, while to the south, the terrain transitions into the Appalachian Mountains. The map details the extraction economies of the era, notably at Thetford Mines and Black Lake, alongside well-established parishes like Ste-Foy and Giffard. Large river features like Ile d'Orleans and Ile aux Grues highlight the historic maritime settlements and navigation points crucial to the province's development during the mid-20th century.
