General note:

Map prepared by David Thompson to accompany report on his observations when surveying a line for a canal between Lake Huron and the Ottawa River in 1837. D. Thompson presented report and map to the Governor General on 10 March 1842, who in turn referred it to the Board of Works to report on the information contained.

The route on the map follows the Muskoko River (now Musquash and South Muskoka rivers) through Muskoko Second, Third and Forked lakes (now Muskoka, Rousseau, Joseph and Lek of Bays).

The map covers 44.90 to 45.30 degrees latitude and 79.00 to 80.20 degrees longitude.
