Geography The South Saskatchewan River is the West boundary of the Rural
Municipality of Rudy No. 284. The East boundary of the RM is
about 16 miles east of the River. The North and South boundaries
are 24 miles apart. The southeast corner of the RM is hilly while
the rest of the RM is generally flat to gently rolling. The South
Saskatchewan River Valley gently slopes toward the river to the
West. The Town of Outlook, which is located on the East bank
of the South Saskatchewan River, is the largest urban center
in the RM. The Villages of Broderick and Glenside are also in
the RM; Broderick is about 5 miles east of Outlook and Glenside
is about 13 miles east and south of Outlook. Most of the land
in the municipality is sandy loam, which lends itself well to
irrigation. The northern part of the RM is predominately pasture
and grazing land.
Highway 15, which links Kenaston (Highway 11) to Rosetown (Highway
4) crosses the RM from east, to West and Highway 219, which links
Saskatoon to Gardiner Dam) goes through the RM from North to
South.
The

North
and North-west;
the RM of Dundurn No 314 to the North-East,
the RM of Loreburn No. 254 to the East and South; and the RM

The Rural Municipality of Rudy is predominately known for its
agriculture. The municipality may be the most intensively irrigated
municipality in Saskatchewan. This supports a large variety of
crops including grains, potatoes, hay and legumes. Livestock
production also plays a major role. The Rudy-Rosedale PFRA community
pasture is located in the north part of the RM.
The South Saskatchewan river and its valley provide habitat
for a variety of animals and birds. Deer, fox and coyotes are
regularly seen in the valley. On occasion, cougars, moose and
bears are sighted along the river.
This area of Saskatchewan is on the flyway for migrating birds;
in the spring and fall there are spectacular sights and sounds
to behold as these guests stop off for rest and food on their
long journeys.
The Broderick Reservoir has excellent year round fishing.
