Ricinus rests in a quiet corner of the foothills where the land begins to rise toward the spine of the continent. It lies 32.2 km south of Rocky Mountain House, AB (from Rocky Mountain House, AB: bearing 183°T), and is situated 14.1 km west of Caroline. The Clearwater River carves a deep, persistent path through the terrain, its current reflecting the pale, thin light that characterizes late autumn afternoons in this region. Near the Bishop Hill, the earth holds a stillness that feels ancient, broken only by the sharp, sudden call of a raptor circling the ridges. To the west, the presence of Phyllis Lake adds a subtle moisture to the air, pulling a faint, cool mist across the grasses as the sun dips below the horizon. The history of Ricinus reflects the rugged persistence of those who first surveyed these slopes and riverbanks. Economic life here draws its strength from the cycles of the land, shifting with the seasons as the inhabitants manage the resources found within the Clearwater River valley. Daily existence maintains a steady focus on the practical requirements of the terrain, where fences and gravel tracks define the reach of human effort against the expansive sky. The people of Ricinus carry on with an understated resolve, working the soil and the subsoil in a way that respects the long-standing character of this particular geography.
