Redwood Meadows is unique in that it is partially independent, functioning similar to an incorporated Alberta town. It is different from all other Alberta towns due to:
- its location within the Tsuut'ina 145 Indian reserve;
- the leased nature of the land on which it is developed.
- being administered by an elected council under a stewardship agreement with the Tsuut’ina Nation.
The Townsite of Redwood Meadows is located along Highway 22, approximately 20 km west of Calgary, 18 km south of Cochrane and 5 km northeast of Bragg Creek. It has an elevation of 1,250 metres (4,100 ft) and is approximately 400 acres (1.6 km2) in size (1.62 km2 or 0.6 sq mi).
