gateway to the Moose Mountain resorts.

[Harv|Hotels Association of Saskatchewan|1955|p=125] White Bear Lake, Kenosee Lake and Carlyle Lake are north of Carlyle

The land in this area was surveyed by 1881 ... A space of sixty- six feet wide between sections was left for a road allowance, every mile running north and south and every two miles running east and west. [Harv|Carlyle and District Historical Society| 1982|p=53]

The prairie dirt trails were the first used. Walking plows could loosen up earth, then two horse scrapers called fresnoes, could grade the low places. These projects could be undertaken by pioneer settlers who wished to work to help pay homestead taxes. Two horse teams were replaced by fours horse teams and larger scrapers. Crawler tractors eventually replaced horse teams to pull larger scrapers and graders.

No. 9 was surveyed in 1929 and graded in 1930-31. These roads were first gravelled in 1930-31 and 1933. This made for safer driving in rainy weather, but very dusty in dry weather. Sometimes these clouds of dust were the cause of accidents on the highways. Next these roads were re-built for oiled surfaces - No. 9 to the lakes in 1956, and south of town in 1964-65....The oiled surface reduced the dust hazard, but kept breaking up under heavy loads...When potash was discovered...better surfacing was requited. So the highway were once again built up to make them wider, and No. 9 got heavy-duty paving to withstand the heavy loads. This was done in 1969-1970... [Harv|Carlyle and District Historical Society| 1982|p=54]

A government road project of 1931 connected White Bear Lake to Fish Lake. Harry Cochrane and his crew began in the south at White Bear Lake, Bill Henderson and his crew began in the north at Fish Lake.cite web
