Saskatchewan Regional Geohash
Whoever said that Saskatchewan is just a flat square? In reality, it's a slightly bumpy TRAPEZOID. There are 95 graticules in all.
I'll colour the map later, according to overall progress.
Graticule names
I have not changed any existing graticule names. My rules for graticule naming are simple: Name the graticule after the more populous urban centre in the graticule, preferably closer to the centre of the graticule. There are times when I favour more recognizeable place names over more populous urban centres, like names of towns on the weather map. On occasion, I've named a graticule for a more recognizeable region name, or a significant landmark or industry, rather than a town.
If anyone has any suggestions for alternative names I would be happy to hear them.
