When taken together these aesthetic features create the visual impression of a left-facing portrait of an indigenous tribesman wearing a feathered headdress. ![]() The headdress consists of a headband containing a staggered set of feather-shaped extensions. The facial features include an eye, nose, mouth, chin, neck, and jawline. The images reveal a profiled portrait of a human head wearing a feathered headdress.

They altered the suggested 'Guardian of the Badlands' to become Badlands Guardian. Out of 50 names submitted, seven were suggested to the Cypress County Council. In 2006, suitable names were canvassed by CBC Radio One program As It Happens. Its age is estimated to be in the hundreds of years at a minimum. Although the image appears to be a convex feature, it is actually concave – that is, a valley, which is formed by erosion on a stratum of clay, and is an instance of the Hollow-Face illusion. The 'head' may have been created during a short period of fast erosion immediately following intense rainfall. The arid badlands are typified by infrequent but intense rain-showers, sparse vegetation and soft sediments. The head is a drainage feature created through erosion of soft, clay-rich soil by the action of wind and water. The apparent earphones are a road (Township Road 123A) and an oil well, which were installed in the early 2000s and are expected to disappear once the project is abandoned. Additional man-made structures have been said to resemble a pair of earphones worn by the figure. Viewed from the air, the feature has been said to resemble a human head wearing a full Indigenous type of headdress, facing directly westward. ![]()
