Show detail Hide detail

This map depicts part of the parish of Headingley, west of present-day Winnipeg. As is typical of Métis settlements, the land is divided into long and narrow river lots. This map shows the "outer two miles" of lots on both the north and the south sides of the Assiniboine River. This part of the river lots was used for hay and pasture and was highly contested between the Métis and later settlers. The map also depicts the development of the square lot system over and around the pre-existing river lot system.

The Anglican parish of Headingley was established in the 1850s, with the first church completed in 1854.
