Description
This is a very interesting map showing the mythical innerconnected rivers flowing among Lake Superior to Lake Winnipeg, which is also connected to Hudson(s) Bay, north to the (Great) Slave Lake and the Pacific through Cook's River. This was a theory based on a report by P Pond in 1787. The most interesting feature is the speculative river flowing out of Slave Lake, over "falls said to be the largest in the known world," and emptying into Cook Inlet in Alaska, a remarkable journey considering the actual rather mountaneous topography. Pond's map influenced others, including Mackenzie to find the Northwest Passage.
