Dead Man’s Flats has served as a roadside settlement in Alberta’s Bow Valley since the mid-20th century. The hamlet stands beside the Bow River between Canmore and Exshaw, where the Canadian Rockies tighten into a major transport corridor followed by the Trans-Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Forested foothills and limestone slopes shape this stretch of valley, with Bow Valley Provincial Park close by. Its services reflect a long-standing role for people travelling through the Rockies rather than the pace of an urban centre.
