The Canadian one inch to one mile series was begun in 1904 and ended in 1949 when it was converted to the 1:50,000 scale. During the early days much assistance was given by personnel loaned from the British Ordnance Survey and consequently the style of the early sheets exhibits this influence. Shortly after the first world war a gradual change was made away from the plane-table and towards the new techniques of photogrammetry. This change was completed shortly before the change of scale to 1 :50,000. The paper includes statistics on the progress of the series during its 45-year history and an outline is given on the areas of Canada that were mapped at this scale
