Rocky Mountains of Canada

Lake Louise was named for Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, who died December 3rd, 1939, at the age of ninety-one. She was a daughter of Queen Victoria, her husband, the Marquis of Lorne, becoming Governor-General of Canada in 1878. The lake is shown unnamed on the map accompanying Dawson’s 1887 Report, but the name Lake Louise appears for the first time on the privately printed (1894) map of S. E. S. Allen.
