  • Franklin: 1827
  • Simpson & Dease: 1837
  • Stoney & Cantwell: 1884-85
  • Allen: 1885
  • Stoney: 1885-86

In addition to the above, there are more than a dozen undated routes. The map is unquestionably one of the most comprehensive works of its time and a fantastic resource for understanding the late 19th Century exploration of Alaska.
