This map depicts the parishes of St. Andrews and St. Clements, to the northeast of the present-day city of Winnipeg. It is coloured to show lands under cultivation, prairie and meadowland, and woodland. In particular, lot 163, Parish of St. Andrews shows names of owners in red ink. As is typical of Métis settlements, the land is divided into long and narrow river lots. The centre of the map shows the Hudson's Bay Company land that included Lower Fort Garry, a hub of the fur trade (not to be confused with Upper Fort Garry, located in present-day Winnipeg).

St. Andrews (on the Red) Church, also known as Lower Church, was the largest of the three early Anglican parishes of Red River Settlement. It was founded in 1829 and the stone church building, pictured to the west of the river on the map, was built in the 1840s. The Anglican parish of St. Clement was founded just to the north of St. Andrew and of Lower Fort Garry in 1861.
