In the northwestern part of Canada there lies a region of 734,566 square miles, equal to about one-fifth of the entire area of the Dominion, occupied by 19,375 people. This sub-Arctic region, north of the 60th parallel of latitude and west of the 102nd meridian of longitude, is virtually a Dominion within a Dominion. Designated herein as the Northwest, this great expanse of mountains, plains and plateau comprises the entire Yukon Territory and the District of Mackenzie, Northwest Territories. This vast region first came into prominence in 1789 as a result of Alexander Mackenzie's famous journey to the mouth of the river named in his honour.
