Contained within the 2nd Edition (1915) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the routes followed by the principal explorers from 1497 up to 1906. Each route is marked as a red line on the map, giving the name of the explorer or company, and when that person travelled along the route. The map also provides the dates of the founding principal forts and trading posts of the French, Hudson's Bay and North West Companies.
