The other points indicated are small reminants of the once powerful Huron-Iroquois at Jeune Lorette, two small bands of Iroquois near Edmonton and on the head waters of the Athabaska river.

Amérique du Nord - Carte Murale - L'Atlas du Canada
La série de cartes de référence de 1961 à 2010 de l'Atlas du Canada contient la version la plus récente d'une carte mise à jour régulièrement et qui provient de la série de cartes de base de l'Atlas national du Canada. Chaque version présente l'Amérique du Nord à une échelle de 1/10 000 000. La carte de référence générale couvre en détail les lieux habités, les voies de transport et le réseau hydrographique. Les terres émergées sont colorées afin de représenter chaque pays et ses dépendances, tandis que les zones extracôtières le sont afin de montrer la bathymétrie. La carte possède deux cartons : le premier montre Hawaii, également à l'échelle de 1/10 000 000, et le second est un carton de l'Amérique du Nord à l'échelle de 1/53 000 000 montrant le relief et indiquant l'altitude des montagnes importantes. En outre, la carte comporte un tableau des distances entre les grandes villes.
