Roseview District,  Saskatchewan

Located near Section 21, Township 4, Range 6, W2, near Lampman

in RM of Browning #34


Roseview District had a Post Office, but no Elevator,
as as far as I can tell, no Railroad.
Roseview District, per Post Office Archive Site,
was located at Sec. 21, Twp. 4, Rge. 6, W2
from 1903 to 1918.
but it was actually almost straight south of Breeze,
in NE Sec. 24, Twp. 4, Rge. 6, W2
1/2 mile east of Breeze, then 2 miles south
or 3 1/2 miles N and 4 miles E of Kingsford SK.

School
Roseview School, located in SD #795 (ca 1912).
NE Section 24, Township 4, Range 6, W2

It is shown on left side of my Dad's 1927 map, above.
Note- NE Section 24, was the homestead of
John Wesley Commodore
who just happens to be the first Roseview Post Master (see below)
