Source-derived summary

Provincial Road 323 (PR 323) is a 26.5-kilometre-long (16.5 mi) east-west highway in both the Interlake and Winnipeg Capital regions of Manitoba, Canada. It connects the towns of Woodlands and Stonewall via Argyle.

Route description

PR 323 begins in the Rural Municipality of Woodlands at an intersection with PTH 6 (Northern Woods and Water Route) just south of the town of Woodlands. It heads due east as a two-lane gravel road through rural farmland for several kilometres, where it becomes concurrent with PR 322 just prior to entering the town of Argyle and the Rural Municipality of Rockwood. Being paved as it travels through the centre of town, PR 322 splits off and heads south shortly thereafter, with PR 323 becoming unpaved once more as it leaves Argyle and heads east through rural farmland. The highway crosses PR 236 just north of Stonewall before coming to an end at an intersection with PTH 7.

History

Prior to 1992, PR 323 continued on further west past PTH 6 for 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to come to an end at a junction with PR 248 north of Meadow Lea.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “provincial Road in Manitoba, Canada” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q130641856. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1992.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
