510-Red River
The map is the frontispiece of this volume: A. Amos, Report of trials in the courts of Canada, relative to the destruction of The Earl of Selkirk's Settlement on the Red River; with observations. London, 1820. For a discussion of the significance of the map see: Winnipeg in Maps. See also John Warkentin and Richard I. Ruggles: Historical Atlas of Manitoba, p. 188-9.
The Red River Settlement developed at the forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers on land granted to Lord Selkirk by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1811. By 1869, the settlement was a vibrant community, with a free enterprise system and established judicial and civic institutions, centred on the retail stores, hotels, trading undertakings and saloons. The Métis were the dominant demographic group in the Settlement, comprising around 85 percent of the population, and held leadership positions in business, church and government.
