Well, it's not COMPLETELY empty in the Territories. I did a little GPS
tracking and conversion to roads into the south-western corner of the
NWT to Fort Liard. There's also an attempt at making a geopolitical
boundary around Alberta which includes the common boundary with the
NWT. I also was playing a little bit trying to trace the outline of
Great Bear Lake, but there are so many thousands of kms of shoreline
that I kind of gave up... With the advent of GeoBase data import, I
look forward to having a good quality base of data to work from.
