St Mary River Engineering Feat Enables Atlantic Drainage
An engineering achievement by the reclamation service diverts the St Mary River into a 28 mile canal feeding the North Fork of Milk River, creating a large irrigation system in the lower Milk River valley. The project aims to irrigate about 220000 acres, with Canada absorbing the entire flow via a treaty. Net government investment reaches roughly 4700000 dollars as of June 1916, serving towns along the Great Northern line and enabling substantial agricultural development.
