It lies 1.4 km south of Altona, MB (from Altona, MB: bearing 180°T), and is situated 11.9 km south of Rosenfeld.

The drainage ditches, carved with patient purpose, trace silver ribbons across the terrain, hinting at the subtle undulations that define the region's character. Even the scattered farmsteads, with their weathered barns and silos standing sentinel, seem to belong to the very bones of this open country. The story of Old Altona is deeply rooted in the tenacious spirit of its founding settlers, many of whom arrived seeking a new life and found it in this fertile expanse. The local economy has long been tied to the bounty of the earth, with agriculture forming the bedrock of its prosperity, a legacy that continues to shape the rhythm of daily life.
