Southern Prairies

Rural Settlement Patterns
Canada’s population is NOT evenly distributed throughout the country
Settlement in Canada can be divided into 2 major categories:
1. Urban
2. Rural
-settlement that occurs outside cities and towns
Rural settlement is characterized by:
• Low population density
• dispersed population distribution
The pattern of settlement is affected by 3 key factors:
1. Kind of resources found in the area
2. Transportation methods available at time of settlement
3. Role played by governmental policy
![Page 6: Where is this? Ontario Where is this? Southern Quebec](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649ddf5503460f94ad953b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The combination of the these three factors have lead to three distinct settlement patterns in Canada:
• the LONG LOTS of southern Quebec• The CONCESSION SYSTEM of southern Ontario• The SECTION SYSTEM of the Prairies
![Page 7: Where is this? Ontario Where is this? Southern Quebec](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649ddf5503460f94ad953b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Long Lots of Southern Quebec
• Developed along waterways
• Settled before survey system implemented
• Long, thin farms• Heritage Law –
owners had to divide land amongst offspring
![Page 8: Where is this? Ontario Where is this? Southern Quebec](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649ddf5503460f94ad953b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Advantages and Disadvantages
Pros– Excellent soil conditions– Access to river ways– Narrow – lower taxes– Close to neighbours
Cons– Narrow lots hard to work– Land became small and
unworkable when divided amongst offspring
![Page 9: Where is this? Ontario Where is this? Southern Quebec](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649ddf5503460f94ad953b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Concession System in Ontario
• Occurred after survey system was in place
• Based on road and railways – no longer dependent on water
• Concession Roads are parallel to waterway, and side roads are perpendicular
![Page 10: Where is this? Ontario Where is this? Southern Quebec](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649ddf5503460f94ad953b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Advantages and Disadvantages
Pros– Excellent soil for
agriculture– Access to roadways– Easier access to land
Cons– Further from
neighbours
![Page 11: Where is this? Ontario Where is this? Southern Quebec](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649ddf5503460f94ad953b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Section System in Southern Prairies
• Land was surveyed before settlement occurred
• Land divided into 36 sections and each section divided into 4 quadrants
• A family would get one quadrant – approx. 64ha in size
![Page 12: Where is this? Ontario Where is this? Southern Quebec](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649ddf5503460f94ad953b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Advantages and Disadvantages
Pros– Land was well suited for
modern farm machinery
Cons– Soil was less fertile -
needed larger farms– Resulted in farm
consolidation– Some distance between
neighbours

Scattered Settlement
• Settlement within other areas of Canada based on two main reasons.
1. Resource-Based Settlement– settlement a result of a product or resources– these included fishing, forestry, mining, and
recreation – Occurred in Atlantic Maritimes, Boreal Shield,
Boreal Plain, Montane Cordillera, Pacific Maritimes
![Page 14: Where is this? Ontario Where is this? Southern Quebec](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649ddf5503460f94ad953b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2. Service-Based Settlement• Often based on transportation• Provides a variety of services which are
needed by people in lightly populated areas• These may included gas stations, motels,
post offices, restaurants

Issues with Rural Areas Today
• Movement towards urbanization
• Movement to commercial farming
• Technology is advancing farming practices
• Fewer services provided within rural regions
• Increased costs for goods and services
• Less rural areas as a result of urbanization
