Opposite Side Features: Front and Rear covers, Metropolitan Toronto and Vicinity map and Hamilton and Vicinity map.   Other: Copyrighted by the H. M. Gousha Company, Lithographed in the USA. Note: Interestingly - although this is titled as a map of Toronto and Hamilton - there is not a proper map of the City of Hamilton or street index for Hamilton included.  The only map of Hamilton is the one showing the city and vicinity.

The Toronto and Vicinity scan was too large to fit on page - so I have broken it into the west and east halves.   Click on the appropriate map above to see a full sized copy.  These are large files and may take a while to load if you have a slow connection speed.
