Eastend is located in the Palliser Triangle, an area declared unfit for cultivation by the Palliser Expedition. Despite this the town thrives, due in part, to excellent farming and ranching country surrounding the community.
As well clay, indigenous to the local white mud clay formations in the Cypress Hills region is mined nearby.
Oil and gas exploration and development in the area also contribute significantly to the local economy. The effects of natural resource development are cyclical as the demand for oil and gas rises and falls.
