It starts at a point about 15 miles west of Brandon, just south of the TransCanada Highway at the town of Alexander and continues west about 10 miles to a point just south of the town of Griswold (see Figure 1). It encompassess approximately 2,600 acres of fertile wetland surrounded by steppe grasslands and prairies.
