1971 Map of Pelto

About this map

Pelto is a focal point of this rural prairie landscape, positioned along the Soo Line railroad during the early 1970s. The geography is defined by a heavy concentration of glacial wetlands and depressions, characteristic of the Drift Prairie, including a protected National Waterfowl Production Area. Local governance and community heritage are anchored by a rural Townhall and distinct burial grounds such as the Finnish Cem and West Forest Cem. The map highlights the township divisions of Enterprise, Sarnia, Sauter, and Perth, illustrating the late-century transition across the Walsh Co Nelson Co border. Small-scale resource extraction is evident through scattered Gravel Pits, which dot the terrain between the region's agricultural sections.
