NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR OFFICIAL MAPS

 

Notes:

 

The 1930 map shows the just Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and was published by the Newfoundland Highroads Commission. This was the primary populated area in 1930. Newfoundland became an actual province in 1949.

 

Until 1964, the title reads "Province of Newfoundland". Beginning in 1965, it reads "Province of Newfoundland and Labrador".

 

Dates for [c.1975], [c.1976] and [c.1985] were determined by comparing maps to Rand McNally Road Atlases of those dates.

 

The following list may assist in dating some maps:

 

1) Tom Farrell: Minister of DOH from Jan 18, 1972 & became Minister of Trans. & Comm. when the name of

the Department changed on Apr. 2, 1973.

2) Tom Doyle: Minister of Tourism from Apr. 2, 1973 to Oct. 6, 1974.

3) Thomas V. Hickey: Minister of Trans. & Comm. from May 2, 1973 to Oct. 6, 1974.

4) J. G. Rousseau appointed Minister of Trans. & Comm. October 7, 1974 for a term of 12 months.

5) James Morgan appointed Minister of Trans. & Comm. October 10, 1975 for a term of 28 months.

6) William Doody appointed Minister of Trans. & Comm. February 6, 1978 for a term of 8 months.

7) R. C. Brett appointed Minister of Trans. March 27, 1979 for a period of 24 months.

8) Ron Dawe appointed Minister of Trans. March 31, 1981 for a period 81 months.
