Carnduff
Carnduff is a small agricultural town in southeast Saskatchewan, Canada near the USA border and the Manitoba border.
Carnduff is named after its first postmaster, John Carnduff. It was marked on early CPR maps, though that location did not exactly correspond to the present town site later surveyed in 1891.
In 2001, the town was noted as having trees affected by Dutch Elm Disease.
The town lies at the intersection of Highway 318 and Highway 18. The Canadian Pacific Railway runs parallel to Highway 18 and their combined thoroughfare splits the town into a north half and a south half. The majority of housing and businesses are in the southern half of the town, while the northern half has a majority of the recreation facilities and larger industrial buildings. The Antler River flows around the north side and east of the town, adding a small valley to the otherwise flat local flat prairie.
Severe flooding in the Souris River basin region during the spring and summer of 2011 caused damage to bridges over the Antler River north and east of the town. Significant repair work was required on the Highway 18 bridge near the Viterra terminal.
The nearest locations with a population larger than 10,000 are Estevan 90 kilometres to the west, and Minot, North Dakota 140 Kilometres to the south-east. The provincial capital, Regina, is approximately three hours north-west by highway.
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Carnduff had a population of 1,150 living in 430 of its 527 total private dwellings, a change of 4.6% from its 2016 population of 1,099. With a land area of 2.61 km2 (1.01 sq mi), it had a population density of 440.6/km2 (1,141.2/sq mi) in 2021.
As a larger town than those adjacent to it, Carnduff is a centre of schooling and business activity in the extreme south-eastern corner of Saskatchewan. The Gazette Post News, a weekly newspaper, is based in Carnduff and reports on items from the neighbouring communities.
