(Possibily Rural Muncipality of Brokenshell #68, Trossachs, SK (previous office location),
but the 1916 Canada Census (Harry Roan, Twp 7, Range 19) says the Rural Municipality of Norton

HOWEVER, through www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cansk/Saskatchewan (Sask Gen Web, then to "homesteads" or "maps" then to Sk Wheat Poo), link to maps and then to Sask Wheat Pool Maps, Weyburn......provides a map with the elevator, but also townships and ranges

Twp 7, Range 19, W of 2nd is just south of the town/village of Khedive, SK about 25 kms west of Trossachs (RM of Brokenshell) or about 15 kms east of Pangman, SK, municipality office; www.pangman.ca website has a link to the Village of Khedive, with a bit of history and some photos
