| 説明 | Fleming, Sandford. Plan Shewing Reservations for Railway Purposes and Town Plots Referred to in Report on Surveys of the Canadian Pacific Railway, 1877, Page 90 [map] 1:380,160. In: Report on the Surveys and Preliminary Operations on the Canadian Pacific Railway up to January 1877. Ottawa: Sandford Fleming, 1877, Sheet No. 4.The spacing of the towns and villages along the railroad line is significant, showing that Fleming anticipated some aspects of what is discussed in central place theory. For example, he suggests in his accompanying report that in agricultural areas the stations should not be so far apart as to leave an opening for intermediate stations at a future time. Even though Fleming’s planes did not come to fruition, they at least show that some attempt was made at strategic village and town planning in the West, beyond the idea of simply superimposing the traditional railroad-oriented North American grid on the land.(Warkentin and Ruggles. Historical Atlas of Manitoba. map 181, p. 368) |
