Default Calgary Map - 1969 and now

I stole this from another local board, yes I am an e-thief! Just wanted everyone to see it, as it was pretty interesting.

Here is the original link for those of you who are beyond members:

And here is the text of the first thread:

While stripping the interior out of my wife's '72 GTO a couple of years back, I found a map from 1969 buried under the seats, it's pretty interesting to see the differences. Here's the map scanned, the basic residential areas overlayed on a 2010 map, and the scanned map file if you want to peruse the map (just right click saving the JPG doesn't keep the street names very clear)

Population 1969: 370,000
Population 2010: 988,000

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.
