In 1871, Canada started a uniform land survey of the three prairie provinces, and the railway belt

of British Columbia, and that survey became the basis of the Dominion Land Grants database,

which includes homestead grants by the Lands Patent Branch of the Department of the Interior,

land in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the railway belt of British Columbia, c.1870-1930.
