Collection search - Map shewing Mackenzie's tracts to the North Sea in 1789, & to the Pacific Ocean in 1793. N.B. The yellow line is Mackenzie's tract. [cartographic material]

This rather crude manuscript map of North America was apparently drawn to illustrate Mackenzie's travels to the Arctic and Pacific Oceans in 1789 and 1793. As stated in the title a yellow line traces Mackenzie's route from Montreal. The map is largely inaccurate in its representations however, the information in note form concerning the explorer's travels is factural. Among the features indicated on the map are the locations of Indian tribes. The paper on which the map was drawn bears an elaborate watermark and the date 1797. The map was likely drawn sometime after this date.
