Show PostArea was a National Park in 1926. Buffalo Park (Wainwright) 1:63,360 archive.org/details/NP02... Buffalo National Park was created near the town of #Wainwright in Alberta on June 5, 1909. It was closed in 1940 and delisted in 1947 when the land was transferred to the Department of National Defence.
