Heart lake, called Raup lake on very recent maps, is in the Salt Plain 
region, about 16 miles southwest of Fitzgerald. The collections recorded 
here are from timbered ridges and prairies about 2 miles south and east of 
the lake. 
(11) Fort Smith , Lat. 60° 00' 30", Long. 111° 53'. 
Collections recorded thus are from the bank of the Slave river, from 
the village itself, and from nearby .sloughs and upland woods. A few 
numbers are from the Smith Portage road near its eastern end, and from 
the vicinity of upper Smith rapids near Fitzgerald. 
(12) Near Mission Farm, Lat. 59° 57' 30", Long. 112° 17'. 
This area is along Salt river about 20 miles by road southwest of Fort 
Smith. The Roman Catholic Mission maintained a farm there for many 
years, raising cattle and hardy grains. The collections recorded are from 
the Salt Plains between the farm and the brine springs, which lie at the 
base of the Salt Mountain escarpment. 
(13) Salt Mountain , Lat. 59° 53', Long. 112° 23'. 
Salt mountain is a limestone escarpment overlooking the Salt Plains 
to the southwest of Mission Farm. The collections are from the timbered 
upland. 
(14) Pine Lake District, Lat. 59° 34', Long. 112° 15'. 
Most of the collections thus recorded were obtained within a radius of 
5 miles of the lake, in sloughs, meadows, upland timber, and on lake shores. 
(15) Observation Ridge, About 10 Miles South of Pine Lake, Lat. 59° 27', 
Long. 112° 20'. 
A few numbers collected at this place are from a burned-over muskeg 
and gravel ridge area. It is a camping site on the pack trail between Pine 
lake and Peace point. 
(16) Round Lake, About 18 Miles South of Pine Lake, Lat. 59° 20', Long. 
112° 23'. 
This is a small sink-hole pond along the trail between Pine lako and 
Peace point. It has a fluctuating water-level and a sandy margin. A 
nearly complete collection of its marginal vegetation was made. 
(17) Peace Point , Lat. 59° 7', Long. 112° 26'. 
Peace point is at a bend in Peace river where the bank consists of 
gypsum cliffs on the top of which is a semi-open prairie area. A short 
distance back from the river is an older bank, likewise composed of gypsum. 
The whole area is spotted with sink-holes, some of which are dry, whereas 
others contain sloughs. Collections are from the prairies, the older and 
more recent river banks, and from local flood-plain deposits on the lower side 
of the point. The spot has been a favourite camp site and meeting ground 
for generations of Indians and white men.
