As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.
The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Gods Lake was on a map titled Road Map for Manitoba and Saskatchewan (from Shell Oil, 1956).
The elevation is an estimate for the area around Gods Lake - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.

When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 204 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 431 or 584. New phone numbers in the Gods Lake area will be assigned with one of these codes: 204, 431 or 584. As a result, placing a call in the Gods Lake area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).

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.
