The city of Estevan (pop. 10,084) is the largest centre in the constituency. Known as Saskatchewan's "Energy City", the area has rich deposits of oil, natural gas, and lignite coal. Provincial Highways 39 and 47 connect Estevan with the American state of North Dakota.
Smaller centres in the riding include the towns of Bienfait, Midale and Radville; and the villages of North Portal, Goodwater, Macoun, Oungre, Halbrite, Torquay and Lake Alma.
For the next general election, the riding will gain most of the Big Muddy Badlands area from Weyburn-Big Muddy, and therefore will be renamed Estevan-Big Muddy.
