Obscure locations in the area of the |
Rural Municipality Chesterfield No. 261 |
, Saskatchewan |
While researching the people buried in the two cemeteries, I learned about some named locations in the area that you could call "obscure". There may be nothing at the locations anymore, but the names were important in the past, and were mentioned in official records and/or newspapers.

Social Plains & Ruddington, Alberta Generally, an area of farms:
Ruddington was never official, though it was given on one death record I found (1920). The Social Plains school still exists and has been turned into the Social Plains Community Hall. |
