The first map extends from Cleveland north to Port Arthur/Fort William (present-day Thunder Bay), with a small inset that extends coverage north to Sioux Lookout. The second map shows New England, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and part of Quebec, with an inset of Cape Breton. Bold red lines indicate major roads and red circles indicate the location of liquor stores in Canada.
