Curzon is a locality in Kootenay Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Curzon is located at 49.0833°N, 116.1333°W.

Curzon rests in a cradle of ancient, rounded mountains, where the air carries the scent of pine and damp earth. It lies 27.7 km east of Creston, BC (from Creston, BC: bearing 93°T), and is situated 10.0 km north-north-east of Kingsgate. The landscape is a testament to the slow sculpting of ice and water, with slopes that are steep enough to hold the lingering snows of spring well into summer, and valleys that cradle small, clear lakes whose surfaces mirror the vast, indifferent sky. Patches of dense forest, a deep, verdant green, cling to the hillsides, punctuated by the occasional rocky outcrop that gleams with mica in the bright, clean light. The ground underfoot is a yielding carpet of fallen needles and moss, and the silence, when the wind stills, is profound, broken only by the distant cry of a hawk or the rustle of unseen creatures in the undergrowth. The character of Curzon is inextricably linked to the land’s bounty and its challenges. Historically, this region was a place of passage and sustenance for Indigenous peoples, whose deep knowledge of these mountains and waterways is a silent legacy. Later, prospectors and loggers, drawn by the promise of ore and timber, carved out a rough existence, their efforts leaving faint traces in old, overgrown trails and the skeletal remains of forgotten cabins. The local economy, though modest, still draws from the earth, with small holdings that produce hardy crops, and a quiet tourism that thrives on the wilderness itself. Life in Curzon unfolds with a deliberate pace, dictated by the seasons and the enduring presence of the mountains, where the twilight often paints the western peaks in hues of rose and amethyst, a gentle farewell to the day.
