The 1870 Wolseley Expedition Route.

- Abstract
The article focuses on an 1870 map, showing the route taken by the Red River Expedition, which was found folded up at the back of a 135 year old report in the University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections. The map serves as a historical snapshot of the movements, including date of arrival at each place, of over 1,400 men in the Red River Expeditionary Force, under the command of Colonel Garnet Wolseley. By combining the map's cartographic information with other primary sources and adding other data formats and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, all possible within the three-dimensional (3D) authoring environment of Google Earth , the 1870 map serves as a spatial portal. INSET: Google Earth.
