Source-derived summary

Provincial Road 341 (PR 341) is a 33.9-kilometre-long (21.1 mi) east–west highway in the Westman Region of Manitoba. Running along the northern fringes of Turtle Mountain, it connects the International Peace Garden with the hamlet of Lena, via the nearly abandoned and historic village of Wakopa.

Route description

PR 341 begins between the International Peace Garden and the town of Boissevain at a junction with PTH 10 (John Bracken Highway) in the Municipality of Boissevain-Morton. It heads due east, having an intersection with Lake William Road (Road 112W, PR 444 prior to 1992), which leads to William Lake Provincial Park, before entering the Municipality of Killarney-Turtle Mountain at the intersection with Road 108W. The highway makes a sharp right turn at an intersection with Road 106W (PR 346 prior to 1992) before heading south past Wakopa and the Mayfair Hutterite Colony. Curving back eastward, PR 341 passes through rural farmland for several kilometres before entering the hamlet of Lena, coming to an end at an intersection with PTH 18. The entire length of PR 341 is a two-lane gravel road.

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 Apr 8, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q131152517. 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.
