Two rivers, the Nelson and the Hayes, enter the Hudson Bay at this point--the Nelson being the more northerly of the two.

Between the two rivers is really a delta or low swampy tongue of land.

On the Nelson's north bank, the land near the Bay is low, while inland there is a rising height.

Five or six different sites of forts are pointed out at this point.

These have been built on during the history of the Company, which dates back to 1670.
