"Thibaudeau, W. Plan of part of the Province of Manitoba Showing the Wwater Powers on the Winnipeg River between the West Boundary of Ontario and Lake Winnipeg [map]. 1:380,160. In: Topographical Surveys Branch. Hydro developments (actual and planned) Winnipeg River Power and Storage Surveys. Annual report of the Topographical Surveys Branch 1907-1908. [Ottawa]: Topographical Surveys Branch, 1908

Since 1906 the Winnipeg River has been the most important source of hydro-electric energy for Manitoba. This map shows an early engineering survey of the river, and indicates potential sites for the establishment of power plants. Construction of the first power station was begun in 1903, on the Pinawa Channel of the Winnipeg river, and finished in 1906. In subsequent years, stations were built at Pointe du Bois, Slave falls, Seven Sisters (Rapids), McArthur Falls, Great (Grand du Bonnet) Falls, and Pine Falls.
