This map shows the western boundary of the the North-western territory as the 141 meridian of longitude. I believe this is an anachronism. Isn't this the boundary agreed upon after the USA purchased Alaska?

No, 141° west was set in a treaty between the Russians and the British in 1825. However, the exact location of the panhandle boundary set by this treaty was subject to a lot of interpretation, and that part of the boundary wasn't settled until 1903. Indefatigable 23:31, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This map does not show the extensive Arctic archipelago.

These islands were not considered part of the North-Western Territory, but were considered a nameless and unorganized British possession. Indefatigable 23:31, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

For northern latitudes I, personally, think that the Lambert Azimuthal projection looks best.

I'm not very happy with how the map turned out either. Maybe I'll take another crack at it when I get some free time, and try the Lambert Azimuthal. Indefatigable 23:31, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
