Saskatchewan Legal Land Descriptions (6647)

Use for: Western Canada Land Survey, Western Canada Land System, Legal Land Descriptions, LLD, LLDs

  • Use this heading for references to the land system in western Canada that was based on a grid survey developed for the Prairies by the Canadian government. The basic unit of the survey was the 36-square mile township that was divided into 36 sections. Each section was about one square mile (640 acres) and were divided into four quarters or into sixteen legal sub-divisions. Townships were numbered from south to north starting at the United States border, and numbered from 1 to 129. Ranges in Saskatchewan and Alberta (and parts of British Columbia) are numbered from east to west starting from each meridian, and ranges are numbered 1 to 34. Surveyors established seven meridians, which acted as baselines for surveying and numbering the townships.
  • This heading should be used whenever a (full or partial) legal land description is being provided as an access point.
