Dear Online Historical Map Digitization Project Enthusiasts,

As the sun sets on the familiar chapters of RootsWeb and Ancestry, we eagerly embrace the dawn of a new era for our beloved project. Welcome to the rejuvenated https://www.patreon.com/SaskGenWebOnline Historical Map Digitization project at our new digital home: https://saskgenweb.ca/canmaps/. The existing pages may transition to a format without updates and new additions in 2024, but fear not; our commitment to unraveling Saskatchewan's genealogy, history, and community heritage remains steadfast.

Our dedicated volunteers, the architects of this labor of love, are poised to continue the exploration of Saskatchewan's rich tapestry. Together, we document family histories, illuminate the corridors of one-room schoolhouses, and preserve the whispers of time etched on cemetery headstones. Our journey encompasses the intricacies of historical maps and the diverse placenames that define Saskatchewan's landscape.

This ensures the ongoing vitality of our project, and we extend a warm invitation for you to join us in this exciting venture. Immerse yourself in the revamped webpages at https://saskgenweb.ca/canmaps/ and witness the unfolding narratives of Saskatchewan's past.

Scale:
This is a sample "Section", in this case numbered 21. Each township had 36 sections and had an area of 6 miles by 6 miles. 1 section of land has 4 quarter sections, each section of land was one mile by one mile in size. Each quarter section was denoted as north west, north east, south west or south east as the case may be. On Map 144 for instance, Glidden was located on the Canadian National Railway - the north west quarter of section 21, township 26, range 23 West of the third meridian. A nearby homesteader, F. Hillacre farmed both the north west and north east quarters of section 16 township 26, range 23, west of the third meridian. A settler could apply for a pre-emption. They had an option to purchase the quarter section next to theirs as a pre-emption, by paying the market price of the time which was about $2.00 acre. Even numbered sections were reserved for homesteads and pre-emptions, while odd-numbered sections were sold. A homesteader was granted a "quarter-section" for a $10 filing fee and he had to perform homesteader duties over the ensuing three years to be earn a Dominion Land Patent or "Title" to the land. For more information, and tutorial about Townships, ranges and meridians and about homesteads.
