This is the oldest map of the province of Manitoba, which had just been created. The Métis rebellion had just taken place, and the map shows the juxtaposition of their surveying system and the system of new townships created by the govenment. The prime meridian, the backbone for surveying, is shown west of Pembina on the American border.
