Additional fun facts - St Anne's road used to go cross the floodway through Grande Pointe (Now Hallama dr./ PR 300), through Ile des chênes (now main street and Lamoureux rd.), following now PR 210 to Linden where there is still a road name St Anne's road.

It currently dead ends at a municipal road, so I can't piece together where it's alignment used to continue. I found online snippets saying it went to Ste Anne (as per the name) and Steinbach. Not sure if there was a branch in the road, or it wound itself northward to Ste Anne then south to Steinbach.
