The windmill post

Trying something a little different.

Cataraqui School 1904 - 1960

About twenty five minutes south of Moose Jaw in rural Saskatchewan. The last bit of road to get here has a sign that says "ROAD IMPASSABLE WHEN WET". The remaining stretch of road to get here is dirt so a bit of moisture would make it interesting to drive.

Maxim, Saskatchewan

Not able to find much information on this place. I went to see the long abandoned grain elevator only to find it is now right on someone's farmland and not accessible. I shot it from the road. I would have asked at the farm if I could get closer however farmers are usually very busy at this time of year so I did not bother. I did not see anyone around either.

I think the place was founded about 1913. There was a post office that operated until 1970. There was a store and school. A small well kept cemetery is close by. It ceased being a town long ago.

This is near what once was Harptree, Saskatchewan.
