Reno No. 51 Saskatchewan Information

The Rural Municipality of Reno No. 51 (2021 population: 343) is a rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within Census Division No. 4 and SARM Division No. 3. Located in the southwest corner of the province, it is adjacent to the United States border to the south and the Alberta boundary to the west. _x000D_ The RM of Reno No. 51 incorporated as a rural municipality on December 11, 1911. Reno, Nevada and Reno County, Kansas are both named for Jesse Lee Reno, a Union general in the American Civil War. However, no record exists of why the Saskatchewan RM’s name might derive from this source. An alternative explanation is that RENO is an acronym of four rural post offices in the vicinity – Russthorn (near Robsart), Eden Valley (southwest of Cypress Lake), Nashlyn (south of Consul), and Oxarat (west of Cypress Lake). Although Nashlyn then lay outside the boundary of the RM, similar acronymic names are not unknown on the Canadian prairies; see also Sangudo, Alberta. _x000D_ The RM of Reno No. 51 is in the southwest corner of the province. It neighbours Hill County and Blaine County in Montana to the south and Cypress County in Alberta to the west.

It is a rectangular-shaped IBA site with the southern boundary running along the border with Montana. The western boundary runs up for 35 kilometres (22 mi) along the border with Alberta and the northern boundary extends towards the communities of Govenlock and Nashlyn and Battle Creek. From Nashlyn, it heads straight south back to the U.S. border. The site totals 840.03 km2 (324.34 sq mi) and has an elevation range of 903 to 1,001 metres. Access is from Highway 21. _x000D_ The landscape of Govenlock-Nashlyn-Battle Creek Grasslands consists of large expanses of native grassland and rugged valleys with steep cliffs and cut banks. Originating from the Cypress Hills to the north, several of the streams that run through the site have been dammed to provide water for cattle. McRae, Lodge, and Middle Creeks are the primary waterways through the site while Battle Creek skirts the north-eastern edge. A variety of birds are found in the IBA, including the sage grouse, prairie falcon, golden eagle, ferruginous hawk, violet-green swallow, burrowing owl, rock wren, short-eared owl, sage thrasher, rough-legged hawk, long-billed curlew, Sprague’s pipit, Baird’s sparrow, Brewer’s sparrow, chestnut-collared longspur, McCown’s longspur, and the Bullock’s oriole.
