Fort Maurepas (Canada)

Morton believes it was on Netley Creek which was called Riviére Aux Morts from a massacre of Saulteurs by the Sioux.

La Vérendrye himself arrived in February 1737 after travelling overland and held council with the Indians.

It was on a high round knoll on the right bank of the Winnipeg River about six miles above its mouth across from the modern Powerview-Pine Falls, Manitoba.

In the winter of 1749-50 it was rebuilt by Pierre Gaultier de La Vérendrye after it had been burnt by the Indians.

On the opposite side of the river at Otter Point the North West Company had a storehouse.
