The map above is "Compiled from surveys by the Topographical Survey of Canada and from information supplied by Dominion and Provincial Departments and by Railway Companies Revision of map of June, 1914".

It also states "Drawn and printed at the office of the Topographical Survey of Canada, Department of the Interior, Ottawa, June, 1926".

The elevation of the City as officially being Central Park is 3438' above sea level. The part that strikes me interesting is the reference to location marks on the map including Steam or Electric railways, Telegraph stations, Gasoline Stations, and of course the price, 25 cents.

Notice just below the Albert Park name is a circled "P", this is the notation of a Post Office. Midnapore also had a Gasoline Station (circled "G"). The working town of Brickburn was home to employees of the brick factory located near the Bow river which the site today would be located just east of Edworthy Park.

A few years before on or about 1911 the city was one township in size not including Ogden. 36 square miles with the dimensions 48 Avenue N to 50 Avenue S and 24 Street E to 37 Street W. Later a half square mile size Manchester is included.
