The Boundary Trail Heritage Region is a narrow strip of southern Manitoba that extends from the Red River to the Saskatchewan border. In the 1870's, the Boundary Commission went out on this trail to establish the Canada/U.S. border., and then the North West Mounted Police used the trail a year later to trek across Southern Manitoba. The trail began at Emerson, MB and ended at Fort McLeod, AB. It became a popular route for settlers driving their covered wagons and Red River carts on the trail. The trail didn't get much use after the train tracks were laid and a new trail began across the southern prairie. Part of this trail goes through the R.M. of Edward, south of Pierson and north of Lyleton. Some of this trail is still visible in the area in some native pasture land. More information on the Boundary Commission Heritage Region can be found at their website: bthr.ca
