Situated in the Matapédia Valley, it is named after the small Lake Alfred[note 1] in the northwestern part of the territory. The lake rests at the foot of Mont Saint-Pierre, which reaches 906 metres (2,972 ft)[4][note 2] and is also known as Montagne du Radar (Radar Mountain) or Montagne de la Tour (Tower Mountain) due to an old fire tower or lookout that was built upon it.[5]

The territory is used extensively for logging.
