The first hints about the impact site near the southern Alberta hamlet of Bow City

Not much left of it. Behind the sign you can faintly make out the foundation of the old general store, next to that used to be a garage, I have found old oil cans and other parts in the field there in the past.

I’ve had a theory for some years, the much of the Rockies was caused by an array of objects that came to earth, affecting a north-to-south axis, crumpling the earth’s crust. The crater mentioned in the article, would be in the northern range of these impacts.

One of the largest of the southern-most (within the U.S. states) impacts would be the Caldera, where Los Alamos is located (eastern slope), and Redondo is the roughly central peak that resulted from the splash.

I suspect that the earth in areas distantly around the Caldera, but not near and of the Caldera, prior to that impact, was a crust resting upon enormous caverns and voids, thru some of which flowed molten material consisting of very high concentrations of metal (particularly east of present day Los Alamos ... about 10 - 18 miles. (This material was *not* released by the impact.)

South of the Caldera, the land rested upon mostly hollow caverns and voids, which collapsed when the impact occurred -— because of vibration and because of the weight of the debris released by the impact.

I am most familiar with geographic coordinates, degrees/minutes/seconds.
Does anyone have a clue what coordinate system is used on the map related to the article/post?

Is there a reason why the coordinates of the crater center is not given?
