One of the things that emerged from the bookshelves during clean-up was an old school textbook, probably found in a jumble sale aeons ago, on "mapwork" - it fell open to this view of fields in Alberta, and an
explanation of how the prairie was carved up into ranges, townships, sections and quarter-sections. In the later 1800s the government put the land up for grabs, and
homesteaders moved in and started farming.

You are kidding! This is a photo of fields. What are the two curved lines of raggedness?
Michael James crossed with Pauline Burbridge(sp?)???
