Footnotes ...

<1>While Big Stone is in the Mountain Time Zone and observes daylight saving time, the area to the east is in the Central Standard Time Zone (CST) and does not..
<2>Area code (587) is an overlay for area code (403).
<3>The Canadian Postal Code consists of 6 characters, where the first three characters are the 'Forward Sortation Area (FSA)', with the last three characters being the 'Local Delivery Unit (LDU)'. In the case of Big Stone, we provide only the FSA and not the LDU. The Canadian Postal Codes were created as a way of grouping addresses to make delivery more efficient. So keep in mind that any given Postal Code is only 'loosely' associated with a community (such as Big Stone). The boundaries of the Postal Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other Postal Codes. When looking for a Postal Code, whether Big Stone or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the Canada Post / Postes Canada.
<4>Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Big Stone, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.
