This engraving of a survey camp on the elbow of the Saskatchewan River is based on one of Horetzky's photographs. The engraving was published in Ocean to Ocean (1873), George Grant's account of the overland journey to the Pacific via the proposed route of the transcontinental railway. The expedition was organized by Sandford Fleming, the chief engineer of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
