The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Govenlock was on a map titled Road Map for Manitoba and Saskatchewan (from Shell Oil, 1956).

Footnotes ...

<1>The elevation is an estimate for the area around Govenlock - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<2>Area code (639) is an overlay for area code (306).
<3>An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates. That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace.
<4>If we found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'. We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database.
