Draper
Draper is named after Thomas Draper who in 1922 opened up a quarry and began to do business as The McMurray Asphaltum & Oil Company. Another acreage lot development hugging the Clearwater River a few kms southeast of Fort McMurray, via the community of Waterways, Draper has been the well-kept secret of the region. Historically an area where the railway passed through, Draper is also known for its small agricultural pursuits and very active market gardens. This small, spread-out community of 84 residents, secluded by trees and the riverbank, is situated along the road. Those living in Draper, including a few that live on the north side of the Clearwater River which they cross by boat in the summer and in vehicles during the winter, have only to travel a short distance to Fort McMurray for essential goods and services.
