Goad’s Insurance Map 1891

The Charles E. Goad Map Making Company was established in Montreal in 1875.  In its business of creating fire insurance plans, the Goad Company provided the most comprehensive coverage of Canada.  By 1910, Goad and his surveyors had created fire insurance plans for more than 1300 Canadian communities, of which Bolton was one.  This map, dated December 1891, was originally created in black and white.  It was colourized in 1904.
