Description

This is a vital reference for researchers working on the Canadian Prairies. It includes a basic summary of how to read land descriptions, as determined by the Dominion Land Survey. There are also maps of the three Prairie provinces showing townships and ranges as well as — new in this edition — the boundaries of the electoral districts used in the 1901 census. Other maps have been enhanced to offer more information and better clarity. The second edition offers more information on finding land information, and how to use it once you have it. There is also an index of townships, giving the matching sub-district in the 1901 census, and the census microfilm number.
