Trying to find info about this town (population if possible).
Found no useful info on the web, and when I google it , it shows an empty space.

Probably quite rare postmark, as it was only open three years. Canada Postal Archives showed the following entry:

Thanks archerg for the post office info, very interesting.
Thanks also rod222 for the link about the population, in the page says:
Approximate population for 7 km radius from this point: 368.
So I guess the town do not exist?

There were two post offices named Pascal in Saskatchewan.

The first was open from 1907-02-01 to 1910-08-01 and located at 36-37-20-W3. (This one is yours).

The second was open from 1933-10-01 to 1963-05-16 and located at 29-52-06-W3. (This is the one shown on your map.)

The locations are the standard prairie notation and read as section 36, township 37, range 20, west of the 3rd meridian. Somewhere on the web is a calculator which can convert this to latitude and longitude, but I believe that the first Pascal would be a few miles north of Leipzig (which is at 17-37-19-W3).

Your postmark is considered to be rare.

Thanks j2186.

Did some digging and learned a lot about Canada mapping.
Here I found the convertion site:
https://www.baseloc.com/dls/#ll=52....0-108.731891

Found it, after convertion, cohordinates are:
52.218036,-108.731891



The road at the left of the place it's called Scott (name adress in the cover), so I guess it may be there that Pascal was situated. Like you said north of Leipzig.

North from that place, there is a town named Scott, Wiki says about:
Scott is a town in Tramping Lake No. 380, Saskatchewan, Canada. The population was 91 at the 2006 Canada Census.Scott is known as Saskatchewan's smallest town.

This area in Saskatchewan changed from the District of Assiniboia to Saskatchewan around 1905. Assiniboia had it's own postmarks. This area could also have been listed as NWT (Northwest Territories) or Athabasca prior to 1905.

I have a book on Assiniboia postmarks and there are alot of towns and Post Offices from Assa. I am not at home but here are a couple of scans, the 2nd of which I thought was PASQUA but could be PASCAL. Try looking up towns from Assiniboia and Northwest Territories on the web. You should be able to find some old maps.

Jimjung, I am quite certain that your 2nd one is PASQUA.

I am home now and just checked my Assiniboia book by Ronald Kell. There is a listing for PASQUA but no listing for PASCAL so it may possibly be Northwest Territories (before 1905) as PASCAL appears to be north of the Regina area.
