From an early Spanish chart to contemporary maps, recording
Nanaimo on paper is the theme of the Nanaimo Museum’s next feature exhibition.
Nanaimo’s most detailed maps show places none of us have seen: the vast tunnel
network under the city, all drawn to scale. The exhibition’s centre-piece is a
seven meter long map that documents all the works from the Southfield Mine (the
Cedar landfill) north to Brechin Point and east beyond Protection
Island.
In addition to Nanaimo maps, the exhibition will examine the
E&N Railway land grant, which attracted many settlers and development. A
display of equipment from the 1880s to the 1920s will complement the exhibition
of maps and charts
