By looking at the combination of New Finland images you can see the area that the New Finland area covered. The sign with all the school districts is located in the church yard, that's why I am sending the picture of the church. Also this church was cut in half in the early days and moved. If you look close at the picture you can see a faint line under a window where it was cut. By Red Lauttamus.

According to Springside and district : memoirs Crossroads School District # 4775 was organised in 1928 and was on Sections in Tsp 27 Rge 6 & 7 W of the 2nd Meridian. The school building itsel was built SE 1/4 24 Tsp 27 Rge 7 W2. However, the first naming for the Crossroads/Cross Roads was Crossroads School District #495 located in Alberta at Tsp 39 Rge 27 W of the 4 Meridian. When Saskatchewan and Alberta became provinces in 1905, numbers previously in use in Alberta were cancelled and re-applied to School Districts of Saskatchewan. Creekside School District #997 was formed and disorganised by 1904 with a previous location of Tsp 27 Rge 7 W of the 2 Meridian, and so #997 appears on old School District Maps around Tsp 27 Rge 7 W2 instead of #4775. The area shape did change.
