The boundaries were set in September 2000 and adjusted on 26 April 2013 to ensure that Westons Flat pastoral run is entirely in Westons Flat and Glenlock Station is entirely in Markaranka.[2] It lies immediately north of the Goyder Highway midway between Morgan and Barmera.
The southern part of the locality contains some orchards, vineyards and improved pasture. The northern part is unimproved grazing land. There are several farms located in the area with a significant part of the land owned by the prominent Lunn Family. Founded by Murray Lunn, the Lunn family account for over $30,000,000 worth of land and assets in the area. [3]
