259. GOAD, Cha[rles] E. [1848-1910]. Atlas of the City of Toronto and Vicinity From Special Survey Founded On Registered Plans And Showing All Buildings And Lot Numbers Third Edition - 1910. 3 Volumes.folio. [pp. 9; 5; 3]titles & street & registered plan indexes. 3 single-page & 119 double-page coloured maps numbered 1, 1[bis], 2-84, 101-133.some mounted correction slips. later half pigskin over original cloth sides (short splits in upper joints of Vol. I, remains of tabs on maps). Toronto: 1910-[12-13]. $16,000
Third Edition, first revision to May 1912 (Volume I), first revision to October 1923 (Volume III). The first edition, published in 1884, contained 40 maps, and the second, published in 1890, contained 50 maps. The third was greatly expanded to 2-3 single-page & 114-119 double-page maps in 1910. The maps in this atlas were revised to incorporate new information by means of mounted correction slips or by reprinting in 1912 and 1913.
"What "Goad is to Canada, "Sanborn" is to the United States, a quasi-monopoly on municipal mapping for a century, and a companion to the insurance industry." (Maps & Data Library, University of Toronto website) Established in Montreal in 1875, the Charles E. Goad Company had by 1910 created fire insurance plans for more than 1300 Canadian communities. These street atlases serve as important source materials for the progress of urban development, containing detailed maps showing and naming streets, lots, homes, businesses, churches, schools, parks, government buildings, hotels, banks, and stores. Plans were produced primarily at a uniform scale of fifty feet to one inch and typically colour-coded to denote building construction materials: pink indicating brick, blue indicating stone, and yellow illustrating frame construction.

270. BROWNE, J[ohn] O[wensworth] [1808-1881]. Map of the Township Of York in the County of York Upper Canada. folding hand-coloured lithographed map. sectioned & backed on linen. 26 1/2 x 25 3/4 inches (67.3 x 65.4 cm.). bound into a full contemporary calf binding (extremities rubbed, some old ms. entries, linen backing soiled). old ownership entry of E.W.Banting. Toronto: Engraved & Printed by Hn. Ellis, 1851. $2,500
The map shows schools, churches, mills and estates, streets, cemeteries, and uncleared land. "John Ownsworth Browne (1808-1881), formerly a railway engineer in England, became a Provincial Land Surveyor in Toronto in 1848. He surveyed 50 subdivision plans in Toronto during the boom period and also produced and published several important general plans, such as the York township plan of 1851 and the compiled city plan of 1862." (Ganton & Winearls, Mapping Toronto's First Century 1787-1884).
"The early 1850s were a time of general prosperity and rapid growth. Hoping for quick profits, speculators bought. and sold land, subdivided and resubdivided lots. This land "boom" flourished until 1857, when the market collapsed.
The maps made during the boom years reflect the commercial enthusiasm of the times in many ways. They were produced to advertise property for sale, to promote the city, and to record new subdivisions. The map-makers themselves were no longer primarily civil servants or military engineers, but provincially licensed surveyors who ran their own businesses. In addition, this map was printed locally, an indication that the printing industry in Toronto had come of age.
York Township had more forest in 1851 than most townships. The delay in clearing the land was due in part to the number of lots held as investments by prominent Toronto families. In addition, the ravines of the extensive river systems made many areas difficult to farm.
Note that more township road allowances had been opened, while many early roads that did not follow the grid system had disappeared. Many villages, all later absorbed into the metropolitan area, had sprung up on the outskirts of the city." (Ganton & Winearls, Ibid.)

A booming real estate market in the late 1880s led to the foundation of two related companies. The Toronto Belt Land Corporation was incorporated on July 16, 1889 to subdivide and sell land in the new suburbs, and the Toronto Belt Line Railway Company was founded on March 23, 1889 to build a commuter railway to connect these new suburban areas to the city. The Belt Line Railway, shown in red on the map, consisted of two separate loops, both starting from Union Station. The eastern loop circled around the north end of the city via the Don Valley, Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the Grand Trunk Railway tracks in the west, while the western loop passed through Swansea, Lambton and West Toronto Junction, returning to Union Station, via Parkdale.A lack of sufficient development led to the closure of service on the railway on November 17, 1894, after just 27 months, Part of the line is now used as a park (Kay Gardner Beltline Park). The present map includes names of landowners.
