Here are some equivalents im already aware of:

Canada Dominion Lands Act = US Homestead Act

Canada Dominion Land Survey = US Public Land Survey System

Ontario County Roads = American Local County Highways

Bloc Settlement = Ethnic Group Settlement (USA)

1981 Alberta Rural Road Addressing System = ???

Do any american states have some kind of rural postal addressing system for very rural farmland area? similar to the alberta thing?

I think Rural Delivery is the US equivilent.

I grew up in rural Iowa, I’d see mail addressed to “RR4” for example (Rural Route 4).
