This beautifully detailed Map of the City of Quebec, created around 1900, offers a fascinating glimpse into one of North America’s oldest and most historic cities at the dawn of the twentieth century. The map portrays Quebec’s distinctive layout, divided between the Upper Town (Haute-Ville)—home to the Citadel, Château Frontenac, and government buildings—and the Lower Town (Basse-Ville), nestled along the St. Lawrence River.

Railways, tram lines, and carefully plotted streets reveal a city in transition: a fortified colonial capital evolving into a modern urban center. The map highlights key landmarks, parks, and public institutions, capturing both the grandeur of Quebec’s architecture and the natural beauty of its setting atop the Cap Diamant cliffs.

Produced with exceptional craftsmanship, this map reflects the precision and artistry characteristic of early 20th-century cartography. Beyond its practical purpose, it stands as a cultural document—celebrating Quebec’s unique blend of French and British heritage and its enduring role as a symbol of Canadian identity.

Explore this map to travel back in time and experience Quebec City as it appeared in 1900—a place where history and modernity met on the banks of the St. Lawrence.
