Early road map of Alberta
1922, by the Automobile Roads Association of Western Canada

Encouraged by the promotion of western parks as vacation wonderlands, a number of agencies began publishing maps designed specifically for motorists, particularly American motorists. The road map shown here was published in 1922 by the Automobile Roads Association of Western Canada, a group that led a public crusade for improved roads and signage. It is probably the earliest road map of Alberta.
