History
Ravenscrag was once a community of over 100 people. Since the Great Depression the town's population has since dropped to just one family.
The settlement gave its name to the Ravencrag Formation, a stratigraphical unit of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, defined in 1918 by N.B. Davis at Ravenscrag Butte. The formation lies north-east of the community.
