Containing no urban communities of any kind, its municipal office is in Chain Lakes Provincial Park, approximately 38 km southwest of the Town of Nanton.

With a 2016 population of 92, it is the least populated municipal district in Alberta, and its population density of 29 square kilometres for every resident is almost exactly equal to that of the Northwest Territories.
