This print is from a painting of an area only minutes away form the artists home. It is titled Saskatchewan's Second Portage, because this area was called this from the time of the fur traders in Saskatchewan. There is a rail portage amid  the trees on the right hand of the painting where they would pull their canoes or boats across to the calmer waters below the rapids. The fur traders, as well as people who travel this route today, had to make a portage around the rapids which are a short distance from this area, and are depicted in the painting titled Corneille Rapids.  This portage is called Second in Saskatchewan by the fur traders who traveled into Saskatchewan, who came on the Churchill River, then came across what is called Saskatchewan's first portage which is named Frog Portage, which has four portages, although small, like a frog jump.  Saskatchewan's Second Portage would then lead them out of the waters of Mirond Lake and into the waters of Corneille Lake. They then would make another portage called Dog rapids.  For more information see the painting titled Dog Rapids.
