Hello from France, (http://hippotese.free.fr/blog)

I research information (or a map) about the exact localisation of "Noble Foundation granary and cable car" who was build in 1917, across Oldman river.

I think that the localisation of "Cameron Ranch" is interesting also...

Thanks

I know that :
In 1917 C.S. Noble purchased 20,000 acres of the Cameron Ranch (to Nobleford, Alberta) and began to raise grain crops. This vast amount of land was not situated very close to a grain delivery point (grain elevator). The closest was to the south, across the Oldman River at Chin, Alberta and river did not have a crossing of any type nearby. C.S. Noble decided that he would build a large capacity grain bin on the north side of the river and a dumping type bin on the south side of the river.
Location section 31, township 10, Range 18; south shore of river. Note: two wagons with extended tanks hauled by eight horses, with four horse snatch team to help haul up steep grades.
