Map
showing the Yellowhead Pass Route
from
Edmonton to Tête-Jaune Cache
1900Compiled and drawn by J. McEvoy, B.A.Sc., from surveys by J. McEvoy, Topological Surveys Branch & Canadian Pacific Railways.
In 1898 James McEvoy [1862–1935] of the Geological Survey of Canada surveyed the Athabasca River valley for about 240 kilometres east of the Yellowhead Pass, and down the Fraser River on the west side of the pass for another 120 kilometres.
The splendid report of James McEvoy, published by the Geological Survey of Canada in 1900, dealing with the geology and natural history resources of the country traversed by the Yellowhead Pass route from Edmonton to Tête-Jaune Cache, contains the most comprehensive and reliable geographical information that has yet been published, and also contains the only geographical map published of that route on a sufficiently large scale to be of value.
