Map of the Area

Any maps and map views are for general information only. Do not rely on them for navigation or to determine legal boundaries.

Other Information

A Natural Corridor, this PNT helps to link the western foothills with the east-central region of Alberta. The area is characterized by the presence of Aspen (Populus tremuloides)-dominated forests with White Spruce (Picea glauca) and Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana) stands, and is part of a mosaic of forest patches interspersed with agricultural fields [1].

Crown Leases are found to the west and south of the PNT [2]. A site visit in 2017 showed intrusive activity from the east (see photo gallery below).

Ukalta is a locality in Lamont County and is possibly a combination of “Ukrayina” and “Alberta” [3].
