Pinto Saskatchewan

Not much more than a Railroad siding
and a Post Office.
the Hamlet of Pinto,
was located East of Roche Percee

Latitude - Longitude
49° 04' 00" N - 102° 42' 00" W

Section 25, Township 1, Range 6, West of the 2nd Meridian
 
Located just over 4 1/2 miles
north of the Canada USA boundary
about 6 miles straight east of Roche Percee
Unincorporated Area

Altitude= 1877 feet above sea level


Location of Pinto is highlighted in Red above
on the Canadian Pacific Railroad
also known as the Soo Line

Pinto was the first siding after the Railroad came out of the
Souris River Valley East of Roche Percee
on it's way to North Portal, and across the USA boundary
This is a portion of my Dad Phil Gent's 1927 Map of SE Sask
The land he owned was marked in pencil above,
it later was sold to the PFRA
The gravel road that runs through the valley
along the Souris River, will take you to the gravel road
which turns to the right, and heads up and out
of the valley, right past the
old location of Pinto, No original buildings remain.
When I was young I remember railroad buildings  in the area
but not much more
There was never an elevator in Pinto.
The Railroad siding was used by a few mines
north of Pinto, to load coal into boxcars.

I do not have a great amount of information
I would love to receive any that pertain to the area
