A look up at
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/post-offices/001001-100.01-e.php
gets Ponoka PO - NW Sec. 4, Twp. 43, R. 25, W4M

so the township block in question starts 1 m S of town, and runs to 7 m S of town, also running from 2+ m to W and 4- m to E.
Ponoka itself is abt 60 km NNW of Red Deer.

To see (and save) the image, use the 1916 link at
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-911.009-e.html
and search for district=Strathcona subd#=1 and go to page 27 (of 35).

It's clear from the address Ancestry gives (T42 R25 W4M) that their subdistrict description is rubbish.
LAC give:
Sub-district Description: Townships 42 and 43, ranges 23 and 24, and township 42, range 25, west of fourth meridian
