Notes

Wheatland Heritage records the settlement and early development of the Rural Municipality of Snipe Lake No. 259 in west-central Saskatchewan. Compiled by E. Vernette Armstrong, it brings together reminiscences and historical essays, many contributed by early settlers and homesteading families, documenting the district's first decades of agricultural settlement.

The volume includes accounts of Isham, Montrose, Richlea, Guthrie, early Eston, McMorran, Owensville, Snipe Lake, Lakeside, and Tyner, together with notes on former post offices and local school districts. Additional chapters cover churches, land companies, agriculture, community organizations, and municipal politics.
