 * I looked at this and couldn't decide. The location given in the text of the article doesn't seem possible, and the location given by 75.158.163.236 does seem to be close to a mine pit (which is brought to mind by the name of the town), but I can't find anything definitive one way or another so I'm going to leave the status quo in place. —  T RANSPORTER M AN  ( TALK ) 18:28, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

There is a series of southern Alberta homestead maps (circa 1918) at http://www.ourheritage.net/maps/south_ab_ca1918.html. The "Intro and Overview Map" includes a symbol legend and a short description of the numbering scheme and map layouts for this area. Map 12 shows the Lucky Strike post office (a circle symbol) in Township 3, Range 12, block 13, in the lower left portion of the map. Comparing the homestead map with an aerial photo from today shows these blocks still visible, today. It is thus possible to count the number of blocks south from Foremost and west to the Lucky Strike post office location. Doing so places the Lucky Strike post office location on the north side of Twp Rd 32, about 250 meters west of Range Rd 120. The coordinates here are 49.2034 degrees north, 111.4892 degrees west.
