This map depicts part of the settlement of Battleford along the Saskatchewan River, across the river from North Battleford and north-west of Saskatoon. As is typical of Métis settlements, the land was originally divided into long and narrow river lots; some traces of the river lots can be seen.

This map shows cart trails labelled "Cart Trail from Poundmaker's Reserve", "Cart Trail from Eagle Hills", and "Cart Trail to Carlton". It also shows an area labelled "Ballendine's Claim". The two-wheeled Red River cart is a uniquely Métis symbol. It was first used to carry meat from the buffalo hunt and in farm work. Later, the carts were used to form brigades, transporting goods over long distances. The wheels could be removed, converting the carts into makeshift rafts.
