This map depicts parts of the parishes of St. Norbert and St. Vital, in the southern part of present-day Winnipeg. It indicates acreage of lots. As is typical of Métis settlements, the land is divided into long and narrow river lots. The "outer two miles" of river lots were used for hay and pasture and were highly contested between the Métis and later settlers. This map shows the development of settler municipalities and farmlands, with their square lot system, around and over the pre-existing river lot system.

The historic Métis settlement on the Rivière Sale (later known as the La Salle River) became the Roman Catholic parish of St. Norbert in 1857. The parish of St. Vital was founded in 1860.
