AbstractThe District of Keewatin is formed from part of the Northwest
Territories in 1876. Canada’s long and diversified settlement history is reflected in the
two distinct patterns of boundaries that differentiate between eastern and western
Canada. The eastern boundaries closely conform to natural features such as drainage
basins, while the boundaries of western and northern Canada reflect the administrative
organisation of these lands by, first, the Hudson’s bay Company and later
the Government of Canada.
