The Big Muddy Badlands
There isn't a lot in Coronach (pop. 822), 10 kilometres north of the American border. For a visitor, the second most interesting thing might be the mural at the visitor centre. It tells how the Canadian Pacific Railway put a line through here in 1926 and named the station after the horse that won the Epsom Derby that year.
The first most interesting thing might be Tillie Duncan. Duncan, born a year after the CPR came, leads tours into the Big Muddy badlands, showing people where bandits, including the Sundance Kid, used to hole-up a century or more ago. - Langley Times
