Mapper of Mountains follows the career of Dominion Land Surveyor
Morrison Parsons Bridgland, who provided the first detailed maps of
many regions of the Canadian Rockies. Between 1902 and 1930, this
unheralded alpinist perfected phototopographical techniques to
compile a series of mountaintop photographs during summers of field
work, and spent his winters collating them to provide the Canadian
government and tourists and mountain climbers with accurate
topographical maps. Bridgland was also a great climber and
co-founder of the Alpine Club of Canada. Mapper of Mountains tells
the story of the Rocky Mountain Repeat Photography Project, which
studies the changes sustained in the Rockies, repeating the field
work accomplished by Bridgland almost a century ago.
