Boundary Commission Trail

The Boundary Commission Trail was a trail in western Canada used by the North American Boundary Commission to survey the Canada–United States border in 1872. The Northwest Mounted Police (NWMP) also used the trail in their march west in the 1870s. The trail no longer exists, but is commemorated with a modern highway route that approximately follows the trail used by the NWMP.[1][2]

In Manitoba, the trail is commemorated with signage on Highways 3, 32, and 243.[3]
