Making of Canada, Yukon and Northwest Territories - Published 1997 by National Geographic
Historical Regional Map | Parks, Wilderness & Northern History | Wall Format (683 × 519 mm) | Premium Finishes
A sweeping view of Canada’s far north, Yukon & Northwest Territories captures a landscape of immense scale, rich natural heritage, and deep historical significance. Published by National Geographic in September 1997 as part of the Making of Canada series, this map presents a region where wilderness, culture, and history converge.
Covering the vast territories of Yukon and Northwest Territories—and reflecting the emerging geography of Nunavut—it offers a compelling perspective on Canada’s northern frontier.
