This is a georeferenced raster image of a printed paper map of the Genesee, Alberta region (Sheet No. 083G08), published in 1957. It is the first edition in a series of maps, which show both natural and man-made features such as relief, spot heights, administrative boundaries, secondary and side roads, railways, trails, wooded areas, waterways including lakes, rivers, streams and rapids, bridges, buildings, mills, power lines, terrain, and land formations. This map was published in 1957 and the information on the map is current as of 1947. Maps were produced by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and it's preceding agencies, in partnership with other government agencies. <b>Please note:</b> image / survey capture dates can span several years, and some details may have been updated later than others. Please consult individual map sheets for detailed production information, which can be found in the bottom left hand corner. Original maps were digitally scanned by McGill Libraries in partnership with Canadiana.org, and georeferencing for the maps was provided by the University of Toronto Libraries and Eastview Corporation.

Maps were produced with the cooperation of various Federal Government Agencies starting in the 1940s and continuing into the present. The map series provides national coverage of Canada, and is based on the National Topographic System (NTS). Each 1:50 000 scale map covers an area approximately 1,000 square kilometres. Levels of government as well as private business use maps at this scale for flood control, forest fire control, real estate planning, development of natural resources, environmental issues, right-of-way, highway planning, and depiction of crop areas.
