Flee Island: A Brief Manitoba Hamlet on the CPR Line
The 1881 station Flee Island on the Selkirk Portage CPR line survived briefly after 1885 rerouting through High Bluff. The hamlet kept a school until incorporation, then declined after the post office moved to rural route service. A sign near Portage la Prairie marks the Free Island Road and the vanished settlement.
