Ever wonder where the nicknames for gravel pits and roads come from in the RM?
Using familiar landmarks or land owners that everybody is familiar with to identify a certain road or gravel pit is convenient for all.
For instance using landmarks…
- Well Road (TWP 180) – The RM well is on this road 2. Edgeley Grid (RR 2152) – runs towards Edgeley
Using land owners…
- Lockert Pit (NE 16-17-14 W2) – Purchased from the Lockert family 2. Bouchard Pit (NW 20-18-15 W2) – Bouchard family lives closest
3. Grainger Pit (SE & SW 25-18-16 W2) – Grainger family lives closest
STAY TUNED FOR NEXT’S MONTHS “EVER WONDER?”…
