Quebec in 1933

This is the Quebec section of a Government of Canada atlas from 1933. While the geographical features have not changed since then, the industrial development and other human activities are interesting to contrast with today's Quebec.

The maps are particularly colourful. Without taking the atlas apart, it is not possible to properly connect the final map which is printed over two pages. So the parts are presented as two images with some loss of detail near the atlas gutter where the scanning focus is lost.
