Charles Edward Goad (1848?1910) was a noted cartographer and civil engineer. Goad is most noted for his insurance surveys of cities in Canada, Great Britain, and elsewhere. Fire insurance companies needed to know in detail the nature and size of buildings, width of streets, construction, building materials and the proximity of fire services and water supplies in order to estimate appropriate premiums. Goad established a company (the Charles E. Goad Company) in 1875 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada to produce maps to provide this information. These and like maps are now referred to as Goad maps. , Size : Folio.

Zustand: Very Good; This very scarce map is bound in two separate modern cloth parts, showing southern Ontario and marking the locations of fire stations across the province. From the Key: "Towns and Villages shaded thus: [marks shown] are those of which Insurance Plans have been made. Those marked with a square being Places of 5000 population and over and those shown with a circle being smaller Places. . The first number indicates the population, the second is number of sheets in Insurance Plan."An English railway engineer, Charles Goad went to Canada in 1868, where he did not pursue engineering, but became a representative for the Sanborn Company which published fire insurance plans. From 1875 Goad began to compile and publish his own large-scale plans of Canadian towns from a base in Montreal, and soon became the largest private mapmaker in Canada. By 1885 Charles Goad had returned to Britain and established a branch in London. Goad?s highly detailed plans included information on property holdings, building construction, use and contents, and, like Sanborn?s, functioned as Fire Insurance Plans. Once leased to an insurance company the map volumes were regularly updated by a team of workers who over-pasted sections with new information onto the existing maps, some of them building up to many layers. Goad?s business rapidly expanded to cover the cities and industrial areas of Britain, Denmark, France, Egypt, Turkey, Venezuela, Bermuda, Mexico and South Africa. After his death the company was run by his three sons. Copyrights and assets of the Canadian branch of the company were sold to The Underwriter?s Survey Bureau in 1931., Size : 1957x825 (mm), 77.05x32.48 (Inches), Printed in Color, 0.

At the same time they purchased the exclusive rights from the Chas. E. Goad company to revise and reprint their maps. The Goad Company continued to operate until 1930 and in 1931 the Underwriters? Survey Bureau Limited acquired all the assets of the Chas. E. Goad Company. They continued to produce various fire insurance plans for cities and towns in Ontario, Quebec, and the Martimes.
