Historisk eiendomskart fra Kanada, Saskatchewan 1930 -

[Per Tore Solheim]

Hei

I USA er laget en rekke kart av den typen som vist nedenfor. (Fra ND, Cavalier County, East Alma twsh i 1912) Disse kartene viste hvem som var eier av jorda  i et township på ulike tidspunkt.

Er det noen som klarer å  finne tilsvarende kart for prærien i Saskatchewan?

Den eiendommen jeg leter etter har koordinatene: Township 46a, range 25, seksjon 16, West for 2. meridian.  Eiendommen ligger i RM Birch Hills, langt nord på prærien, og tilhørte i 1931 Eivind Salvesen Tveit.

Dersom andre eiednommer er registrert på hans navn er jeg også svært interessert.

These maps are called "plat" maps in US.  The Canadian land description survey system is very similar to US aliquot.

I found a site. There are hundreds of pages and thousands of names. It is not indexed. You will have to register to view the images. It strains my eyes, so I can only do brief searches at a time.

 

A sample page. Only part of the page saved. The page is much larger.

I found an easier way to search the maps.

 

The maps stop at 1930

Birch Hills is in Township 46, Range 24.

 

No Tveit there in 1930. Below is a map of Birch Hills. You can check the names in case I missed something.

Thank you, Richard Olsen.  Now I think you are very near the spot😀

 

As far as I know - Birch Hills is both a small town and ar rural municipality: RM Birch Hills 460.  Look below.

 

In the census from 1931  Eivind Tveit (written as Einar Time!) lives at a farm i twsh 46a,  range 25, sec 16.   I am not sure what they mean of 46 a, but if  you  move to the twsh west of nr 24, I hope you are at the correct spot!  

 

Do you know  in which year the map are drawn?

 

[Richard Olsen]

I believe I found Eivind.

 

Township 46a - Range 25 - Section 16 in 1930

 

I checked all of the area previously, but did not focus on E Tine. When you mentioned the name in the 1931 census - Einar Time - I decided to re-visit that area.

Here is a map showing where Eivind Tveit lived near Birch Hills. I left a space so you can see that it is Township 46a.

The number 11 is under Eivind's name. On the map number 11 is the Post Office in Birch Hills. That is the post office address Eivind used to send and receive mail.

 

Also, you will see a triangle at Birch Hills. That represents the Village.

[Per Tore Solheim]

Thank you, once more Richard Olsen. That must be correct.

I think we can observe Eivinds farm on the satelite photo from Google Earth, below.  The green area in the center. A small creek to the west is cutting his area in two parts.  NW of sec. 16.

 

What happend after 1930 - may be we will never know.....

Here is an image showing Eivind's land.

 

He lived approx. 5 kilometers from Birch Hills.
