How It Works

Understanding Saskatchewan's DLS System

Saskatchewan uses the same Dominion Land Survey (DLS) system as Alberta and Manitoba.

The DLS Hierarchy

Saskatchewan land is divided using the standard DLS hierarchy based on Meridians:

  • Meridians — Saskatchewan uses W2 and W3
  • Ranges — Six-mile columns numbered west from each meridian
  • Townships — Six-mile rows numbered north from the US border
  • Sections — 36 one-square-mile divisions per township
  • Quarter Sections — NE, NW, SE, SW (160 acres each)
  • LSDs — 16 Legal Subdivisions per section (40 acres each)

This creates a unique address for every parcel of land in the province.
