Bitumen Exploration and the Southern Re-Inscription of Northeastern Alberta: 1875–1967
Longley traces how geographic and cartographic knowledge of the Athabasca region, Alberta, Canada, colonized the region in the southern imagination long before the oil sands industry began extraction there.

The south gained political and economic control of the region, although this process is incomplete and contested.
