Hello all:

The first Canadian computer-generated atlas that I know about is Claude
Marois' Employment Atlas: City and Island of Montreal.  Montreal:
Universite du Quebec a Montreal, 1972.  It used SYMAP V to produce 184
choropleth maps showing employment by industry, district and  number of
employees categories in Montreal.
