Another digital file found on one of the old computers in the museum is this detailed map of Fort Langley. While we don't know how this copy was acquired, the map is very useful to our researchers because a lot of the time we'll have a name but no location, and this map lets us see if the person perhaps lived in Fort Langley, not Aldergrove. We often reference area maps looking for information on people and places.
Maps such as this are also useful in showing where the businesses were located, because for many years, Aldergrove residents would trek to Fort Langley to get supplies and merchandise.
