Part of the Old Chinatown was Streetcar yards which is now the Montreal Convention Centre! Wonderful map!

Please contact me if you ever need funding to maintain that website available.

@Andrew
Very nice. I was working on some technology to continue this project and cover the whole island, but it turned out to be too time intensive to do just for fun…

Last summer I executed a similar personal project, using 20 photos of Montreal’s Rosemont neighbourhood in 1947.
The result is posted at
https://sites.google.com/view/flyback1947/home
(my first and only experience in creating a web page). It required many hours of effort using the open-source MapKnitter web tool kit. (See https://mapknitter.org/maps/rosemont-1947 .)
I would like to hear from anyone who might know of a less arduous (and affordable) method or tool.
An interesting challenge would be to combine more of these images without sacrificing the original remarkable resolution. I’d like to be able to navigate the landscape seamlessly with plenty of zooming capability.
Thanks!

I can’t figure out how to get google maps/earth to display these beautiful areal shots. How did you find them?

Grâce à ces images, j’ai pu confirmer que je n’habite pas sur un ancien site d’enfouissement, contrairement à la cartographie rendue publique par Radio-Canada. Selon l’émission “La Facture” à Radio-Canada, plusieurs résidences ont été construites sur des anciens sites d’enfouissement et cette information a été cachée par les autorités municipales. Plusieurs se trouvent sur le Plateau et dans Rosemont.

Je viens de découvrir ces cartes interactives et je viens de m’apercevoir que j’ai oublié d’aller souper. Quel voyage dans le temps.
