Corrected entry: When a map of North America is shown on the wall, the map of Canada shows the territory of "Nunavut." However, Nunavut only separated officially from the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999. In 1941, Nunavut did not exist. (The same mistake occurs in X-Men: First Class).

Correction: The comment is likely referring to the border extending north from the Manitoba/Saskatchewan border, which is where the Nunavut border begins. However, the Nunavut border extends straight north only a short distance, then turns west; in the movie, the border continues straight north. The easy explanation is that the map shown in the movie shows the districts of the NWTs; it is exactly consistent with the border between Keewatin and MacKenzie territories, and lots of historic Canadian maps show these districts (I own a 1960s schoolroom map that shows it). As well, there's another clue that the map is from the correct era. If it was a more modern map, we'd see the tip of Prince Charles Island just west of Baffin Island. The fact that we don't see it indicates that the map was made prior to the discovery of Prince Charles Island in 1948.
