Wegenkaart - landkaart Nunavut - Northwest Territories | ITMB

The far north of Canada, north of 60 degrees, consists of three territories; the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Until now, there has never been a proper map of the territory that was carved off from the NWT a quarter century ago. With only 30,000 people and a scattering of settlements, Nunavut is larger than western Europe in area. This map took us years to prepare, using 1:250,000 government topo maps as a base and tracing thousands of little lakes. The traditional passageway of the fabled Northwest Passage is also shown. The most northerly civilian community in the world is on the map – Grise Bay, as well as Alert, the most remote place on earth.

Originally, the NWT covered all of northwestern North America west of the Louisiana Purchase and the Loyalist colonies, and north of the Spanish provinces (essentially north of current day Sactamento). Political changes have reduced its size over the past century and a half to the region of Canada north of the 60th parallel and east of the Yukon. Following the division of the NWT in to Nunavut (future map, coming soon), and nick-named BOB (back of beyond) the NWT remains a wild and fierce environment occupying a huge expanse of lakes and tundra in Canada’s north. This detailed map covers the entire territory and includes a bit of the eastern Yukon and the westernmost part of Nunavut, Great Bear and Great Slave lakes, the high Arctic islands, and an inset map of Yellowknife.
