Behan rests upon a broad, gently rolling expanse of Alberta’s parkland, where the earth sighs under an immense sky. It lies 66.4 km north-north-east of Lac La Biche, AB (from Lac La Biche, AB: bearing 32°T), and is situated 18.6 km south-south-west of Margie. Here, the land is a tapestry of cultivated fields, their emerald and gold hues shifting with the seasons, interspersed with pockets of aspen and poplar groves that offer dappled shade and a whisper of cool air. The soil, a rich, dark loam, exhales a scent of damp earth and growing things, particularly after a rain, and the air itself often carries the clean, sharp tang of distant pine. In the long twilight of summer, the horizon bleeds into soft lavenders and fiery oranges, a breathtaking spectacle that seems to hold the land in a hushed, reverent stillness. The history of Behan is deeply entwined with the agricultural spirit of the region, a place where generations have worked the land, coaxing sustenance from its fertile depths. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of open country and the chance to build a life, established farms that continue to form the backbone of the local economy, with grains and livestock still playing a significant role. The faint, almost forgotten tracks of old wagon trails can still be discerned in the landscape, subtle reminders of the pioneers who first charted these territories. While not a place of grand pronouncements or bustling industry, Behan possesses a quiet resilience, a character forged in the shared labour and enduring spirit of its people, where a handshake still carries significant weight.
