Time magazine called him "The man who did the most to open up northwest Canada's wilderness—and convince oilmen of its treasures."[1]
In addition, McMahon was a major racehorse owner/breeder whose Thoroughbreds competed in North America and Europe and who won the 1969 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes with the U.S. Racing Hall of Fame colt, Majestic Prince.
