Quebec — National Geographic Wall Map (1991)
From fur-trade canoe routes to a powerhouse of river-borne industry—Quebec’s story flows along the St. Lawrence. Published in March 1991 as half of a two-map set with “The Making of Canada: Quebec,” this detailed wall map balances clean symbology with cultural context, celebrating a distinct French heritage that endures—made to command a wall and reward close study.
More Than a Map – A Testament to Place
This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding Quebec’s geography and identity: settlements and road networks strung along the St. Lawrence corridor; rivers, lakes, and regional boundaries that shaped commerce, language, and life. Ideal for educators, historians, designers, travelers, and collectors, it pairs beautifully with the companion thematic sheet.
Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
