Keys to Maps

This file has an indeterminable GMD—digital object is not available at this time.

File consists of six keys to the maps for Maple Ridge, Mission, and Pitt Meadows. Out of the six keys, only three of the keys have years associated with them. The dates of the data range from 1930 to 1940. The keys generally have columns labeled Map Number, Farmer, Acres, Prefecture Origins, and Notes. A count of the number of people from each prefecture can be found on the reverse side of some of the keys.

John Mark Read was born on June 8, 1945 in Kelowna, British Columbia. He graduated (from Delbrook Senior Secondary School?) and continued with his education by studying Geography at the University of British Columbia (UBC). He graduated from UBC in 1971 with a Bachelor of Arts. John went on to pursue a Master of Arts in the Department of Geography at UBC. He submitted his thesis, "The Pre-War Japanese Canadians of Maple Ridge: Landownership and the Ken Tie," in 1975. While pursuing his Masters, John married his wife, Karen Kiyiomi Mizuno, on July 14, 1973. John went on to work as H.Y. Louie for thirty years and retired in 2005.

The digital copies of the records were acquired by the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective between 2014 and 2018.
