David Thompson, having retired with a generous pension from the North West Company upon his return to Montreal, has settled in nearby Terrebonne and working on completing his great map, a summary of his lifetime of exploring and surveying the interior of North America.
The map covers the wide area stretching from Lake Superior to the Pacific, and is given by Thompson to the North West Company.
Thompson's 1814 map, his greatest achievement, is so accurate that one hundred years later it will still be the basis for many of the maps of Western Canada issued by the Canadian government.
It now resides in the Archives of Ontario.
