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.
