Maple Creek

Maple Creek is a town in Maple Creek Rural Municipality No. 111, Saskatchewan, Canada. The populace was 2,084 at the 2016 Census. The town is 103 km southeast of Medicine Hat, Alberta, and 40 km north of the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park on Highway 21 and 8 km south of the Trans Canada Highway. The regulatory central station of the Nekaneet Cree First Nation band government is 37 km southeast of Maple Creek.
After the North-West Mounted Police had been built up at Fort Walsh, pioneers started to investigate the Cypress Hills zone, living along the brooks and doing little scale farming. The Department of the Interior was working a First Nations cultivate on the Maple Creek, a couple of miles south from the present town site. In 1882-1883 the First Nations were moved to Qu'Appelle, and the ranch was then worked by Major Shircliff, an ex-Mounted Policeman.
In the winter of 1882, a Canadian Pacific Railway development team of 12 chose to winter where the town of Maple Creek currently stands. This denoted the foundation of Maple Creek. In June 2010, a surge submerged a portion of the town. A similar surge hit quite a bit of southwest Saskatchewan and southern Alberta and even pulverized a segment of the Trans-Canada Highway.
