Spatial polygon overlaps with adjacent census years where the boundary shifted enough that the SAME_AS chain didn't merge them. These show where the territory came from and went to even when it isn't tracked as the same persistent place.
Earlier boundary forms
- In an earlier year, this CSD contained Duck Lake I R, 1911 (20.4% share).
- In an earlier year, this CSD contained Sioux I R, 1911 (2.6% share).
