This map shows the proposed Paakumshumwaau-Maatuskaau protected area, the Cree names
designating the watersheds of two larger rivers, the Old Factory River (Rivire du Vieux Comptoir) and the
Poplar River (Rivire du Peuplier) as well as some smaller rivers along the James Bay coastline. The total
area is 4755.38 square kilometers. This area includes the lakes and lake islands within the proposed
area, but it does not include any marine islands. The coastline used to calculate the area is that of
Canada's National Topographic Database (NTDB). This dataset has not recently been updated to account
for the isostatic uplift occuring in the region.
