The CL Western Studio & Backlot is located on 2,000 acres, amid a 15,000 acre historic working cattle ranch in the heart of the Alberta foothills. There are additional period sets scattered throughout the Backlot, including a Trapper's Cabin, Sod Hut built into a hill, Abandoned Mine, Honeymoon Cabin, Way Station, and an Abandoned Ranch.

Other landscapes included in the vicinity are river areas, hills and rocky ridges, evergreen and deciduous forest, plains areas and mountain vistas.

The latest addition to the Backlot is the Farm House. This is a circa 1900 elaborate set that includes a large barn, corrals, windmill and assorted out buildings and can be surrounded by a rolling crop field. The interiors of the Farm House and the barn are fully finished.
