Saskatchewan Highway 361

Highway 361 is a provincial highway in the south-east region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from the Manitoba border just east of Fertile, where it continues eastward as Provincial Road 345, to the junction between Highways 47 and 702 just west of Cullen. It is about 121 kilometres (75 mi) long.^[1]

Highway 361 passes near the communities of Fertile, Storthoaks, Nottingham, Alida, Auburnton, Douglaston, Lampman, Luxton, and Cullen. It connects with Highways 600, 8, 318, 601, 603, 9 (Saskota Flyway), 604, and 605.

Hwy 361 begins in the Rural Municipality of Benson No. 35 at the junction between Hwy 47 and Hwy 702 just west of Cullen, with the road continuing as westbound Hwy 702 towards Midale. It heads west as a paved two-lane highway, traveling just to north of Cullen (connected via Range Road 2030) and just to the south of Woodley (connected via Range Road 2074) as it enters the Rural Municipality of Browning No. 34. The highway enters the town of Lampman shortly thereafter, becoming concurrent with northbound Hwy 605 as the pair cross over Canadian National Railway's Lampman subdivision and travel through neighborhoods in the southern part of town along Corrigan Road. After Hwy 605 splits off and heads north, Hwy 361 continues east through farmland, passing just to south of Browning (connected via Range Road 2054) before having a short concurrency with southbound Hwy 604 and entering the Rural Municipality of Moose Creek No. 33.

Hwy 361 now shares a concurrency with northbound Hwy 9 (Saskota Flyway) for a couple kilometres before heading eastward, with its pavement transitioning to gravel as it crosses a bridge over Moose Mountain Creek / Grant Devine Reservoir on its way to the hamlet of Auburnton, where it has an intersection with Hwy 603 and crosses over Auburnton Creek. The highway traverses a switchback as it enters the Rural Municipality of Reciprocity No. 32, becoming concurrent with Hwy 601 northbound as the pair travels to the south of Cantal (connected via Cantal Road (Range Road 1340)) and cross the Antler River on their way to the village of Alida, becoming paved as they travel through the community. When Hwy 601 splits off and heads north, Hwy 361 makes a sudden sharp turn to the south, coming to an intersection with the north end of Hwy 318. Turning east again here, the pavement turns back to gravel as it passes along the south side of Nottingham (accessed via Range Road 1325) on its way to cross into the Rural Municipality of Storthoaks No. 31 and almost immediately have an intersection with Hwy 8. The highway becomes paved again for a short distance as it crosses over Lightning Creek and travels along the southern edge of the village of Storthoaks (accessed via W 6th Street and Range Road 1313) before transitioning back to gravel as it parallels a former railway line and heads towards the hamlet of Fertile, crossing Gainsborough Creek and having a concurrency with southbound Hwy 600 before reaching the Manitoba border via a switchback, continuing east towards Tilston, Manitoba as Manitoba Provincial Road 345 (PR 345).^[2]
