Yellowhead County

Among the regions of Canada, Yellowhead County stands out for its broad sweep of boreal forest, farmland and Rocky Mountain foothills in west-central Alberta. The McLeod River runs through this working landscape, where ranches, small settlements and resource communities follow the Yellowhead Highway, Highway 16. This major route links Edmonton with Jasper and forms part of the wider Yellowhead corridor, named for the nineteenth-century guide Pierre Bostonais, known as Tête Jaune. Edson is the county’s main service centre, while the country westward rises toward Jasper National Park and higher mountain terrain.
