Summary

Description
English: Map of the change to Canada on July 15, 1870.

The United Kingdom transferred most of its remaining land in North America to Canada, with the North-Western Territory and Rupert's Land becoming the North-West Territories. Rupert's Land was transferred to Canada in 1869,[1] but the transfer was only consummated in 1870 when £300,000 was paid to the Hudson's Bay Company.[2] Due to a vague description and lack of quality surveying, part of the western border with the United States was unclear and disputed.[3] Canada disagreed with the United Kingdom over the extent of Labrador that remained with Newfoundland Colony, citing the historical use of the term "Coasts of Labrador."

A rectangular area of the newly acquired region around the city of Winnipeg was made the province of Manitoba.[4]

This was built with the shapefiles:

  1. ↑ Rupert's Land Act, 1868
  2. ↑ Rupert's Land and North-Western Territory Order, June 23, 1870
  3. ↑ Van Zandt, Franklin K. (1976) Boundaries of the United States and the Several States: With Miscellaneous Geographic Information Concerning Areas, Altitudes, and Geographic Centers, Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, p. 32 OCLC: 69426475.
  4. ↑ Manitoba Act, 1870
