This PNT Natural Area is approximately 3 km northwest of Pigeon Lake. It is likely so named because it on the height of land that divides the Strawberry Creek watershed of the North Saskatchewan River to the north from drainage to the south. The unnamed creek in the photo is actually flowing south towards Pigeon Lake.
