As the Plaque Reads:
Olaf Hanson
The Hanson Lake Road was named after Olaf Hanson, a veteran trapper, prospector and outdoors man, who spent many of his years in the area between Flin Flon and Smeaton.
He also assisted the construction branch of the Saskatchewan department of Natural Resources in building the road, taking part in locating and supervising blasting crews where the road traversed part of the Canadian Sheild. His knowledge of the area was invaluable as the road crossed large areas of muskeg, lake and river as well as rocky outcroppings.
It is a fitting tribute to Olaf Hanson that he lent his name to this road.
