Close-up Canada Maps
This page has all the Close-up Canada series of maps produced by National Geographic from 1975 till 1980. These are all two sided maps. One side is a detailed map of the region filled with interesting notes. The other side has write-ups for each province of the region filled with information for the tourist. Although they are over 30 years old now, they still contain a lot of travel information and history that is still pertinent today. Still valuable assets to anyone wishing to travel in this beautiful country. ( I know, I live here )
