The Mackenzie River is the longest river system in Canada, stretching over 4,241 km from the Great Slave Lake to the Arctic Ocean. It flows through the Northwest Territories and Yukon territories, and is home to several indigenous communities. The river is named after Sir Alexander Mackenzie, a Scottish explorer who travelled down the river in 1789. The Mackenzie River delta, where the river meets the Arctic Ocean, is one of the largest deltas in the world and provides important habitat for numerous species of wildlife, including polar bears, muskoxen, and beluga whales. Mapping the Mackenzie River system involves creating topographical maps that show the contours and features of the river and surrounding landscape, as well as identifying key locations such as settlements, trading posts, and areas of ecological significance. These maps are used by scientists, resource managers, and local communities to understand and protect the natural and cultural resources of the region.
