Daniel Williams Harmon [1778–1843] was a fur trader and diarist.

Harmon was born in Bennington, Vermont on February 19, 1778, son of Daniel and Lucretia (Dewey) Harmon and died April 23, 1843, in Sault-au-Récollet (Montreal North), Lower Canada. He took as a common-law wife Elizabeth (Lizzette) Laval or Duval (ca. 1790 – 1862) in 1805, at South Branch House, Northwest Territory, British America (he legally married in 1819, at Fort William, Ontario, Canada) and had 12 children.

Harmon joined the North West Company in 1800 and gradually moved westward, finally arriving in New Caledonia in 1809. There he served for ten years at Fort Saint James and Fort Fraser.

The map seems largely based on Mackenzie’s map North America 1803.

This edition of the map is from from Archibald McDonald’s journal of an 1828 trip accompanying George Simpson [1792–1860]. It includes a notice that the map is “Copied from original, & with latest additions.” The latest additions might be the “colored lines,” Red being the Simpson Route, Blue the McLeod Route, Yellow the proposed Territorial Route, and Green the proposed Pacific R.R. route. Additions credited to “M. McLeod (Britannicus) in June 1869.”

On the map the Athabasca River is labelled “McLeod Riv.” Fort George is not named.
