A 25,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at Angusville, on the CNR Rossburn Subdivision in the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West, was built around 1910 by the British America Elevator Company. Merged into National Grain in 1940, it was expanded to 62,000 bushels in 1951. The elevator was sold to Cargill Grain in 1975, closed three years later, and removed from the site.
