Eynard Upland

Eynard Upland lies in the lake-strewn country east of the Tazin River. The Tazin winds through the northern Shield towards the Taltson, whose waters reach Great Slave Lake. Canoe routes connected Tazin Lake with Lake Athabasca to the south and with hunting grounds on the edge of the Barren Lands. Open black spruce woodland and lichens cover parts of the surrounding uplands.
