Bienfait Business and Residence Locations
Bienfait, Saskatchewan, Canada
The Map above from the 1955 History of Bienfait Book has been modified
I have added some Block Numbers and also added my Lot numbers in Red
These are not the official Lot numbers, but one's I picked to have a reference point for the links below, to help everyone remember where all these buildings were, or possibly still are. If you know of others, feel free to send them in.
Note- Lot numbers for Blocks 2,3,4 and 21 are the same as block 1 and Blocks 5, 6, 7 same as 8
