This map attributed to mapmaker James Wyld (1812–1887) illustrates what was known about the region in 1853 and its link with continental Canada. An inset shows Franklin’s exploration of the Coppermine and how mapmakers incorporated information from a variety of sources into their maps. It was published in 1856 in New York by Charles Magnus within his "Magnus's commercial atlas of the world".
