County of Newell

County of Newell is best known within Canada for UNESCO-listed Dinosaur Provincial Park, a major fossil site beside the Red Deer River. Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1979, the park’s badlands preserve dinosaur remains from the Late Cretaceous period. Beyond its eroded coulees, the county is a working prairie district centred on irrigated farming. Lake Newell, a large irrigation reservoir south of Brooks, and the canals of the Eastern Irrigation District shape fields of grain and other crops across this dry corner of southeastern Alberta.
