Hamilton Public Library Maps

The Library’s Maps collection includes Fire Insurance Maps from 1898, 1911, 1927–1947, and the mid-1960s.  (More Fire Insurance Maps can be found at McMaster University. Link to McMaster Maps page.)  The Library also has Bird’s-Eye View, Pictorial and Surveyor’s Maps, which can show a building’s location within its neighbourhood and the city of Hamilton. These maps provide information about the layout of the city and changes in street names over time. The Library also has the Wentworth County Atlas, a detailed atlas illustrating buildings and structures in counties across Ontario. Please visit the Library website for more detail about maps.
