How has the Geography of the West Shaped Who We Are?

The geography of the West is very unique and has shaped me in many ways. If it wasn’t for Britain claiming land in the West back in the 1840s, the USA might have claimed it for themselves. With the discovery of gold, the West became more popular. With the introduction of the railway, the West joined Canada. New people were brought in to work on the railway and the West started to grow. Each of these historical events have led to where and how I live. History is everything that happened to shape that people and the place in which we live.

What Made and Makes the West?

I went on a nine day field trip to different places around the Canadian West. Specifically, I stayed in Golden, Banff, Calgary, and Revelstoke. I have analyzed and studied the rich history of every place I went to. I have included reflections for ten places that I visited during the trip. The following pages include photos and analyses on the five themes of geography. They also include reflections on how they have shaped the West. I have also added a personal connection to the places and their history.
