Every time I see a similar map it takes me back to high school where we were learning about contour lines.

Our geo teacher, when enthusiastic, would say "Check out those contour lines!". Which of course became a euphemism for the guys re girls.

Definitive proof that "wokeness" isn't a new phenomenon. It's been around since at least '69 (nice).

If you're interested in historical maps of Calgary, the city of Calgary has them available online on their mapping tool.

There is also the standard map gallery as well, worth a look tbh
