. The area is generally flat, but provides excellent land for large scale farming. A few small, intermittent lakes populate the surrounding area. These lakes form as a result of the spring runoff when the snow melts, and vary in size depending on annual rainfall. In hot, dry years, the lakes can completely disappear, as no streams or rivers drain into the lakes.
The climate is usually very dry. The winter usually results in bitterly cold temperatures that easily reach into the −20s to −30's degrees Celsius, while the summer produces hot dry temperatures. It is not uncommon to have temperatures into the high 30's and even the low 40's Celsius. The highest recorded temperature in Canadian history was set at Yellow Grass on July 5, 1937: 113 °F (45 °C).

Water Works
The town of Yellow Grass first started thinking about sanitation in the early 1900s when cesspools were designated for controlled removal of sewage. In 1916 Yellow Grass purchased galvanized sanitary pails to be used in a sewage collection service. Sewer lines were installed in 1958. The system has remained largely unchanged since then.

In late 1902 a larger school was constructed known as "The Stone School". The town continued to grow, and in March 1913 a larger school was constructed known as "The Brick School".
On June 1, 1952. The Yellow Grass School District no. 539 was annexed by Milestone School Unit No. 12 when the provincial government moved to centralize school administration.
