[1] The Souris-Arcola-Regina Section branch line of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) arrived in the area on 9 November 1904.

[3] The CPR served the communities of Stoughton, Heward, Creelman, Fillmore, Osage, Tyvan, Francis, and Sedley.

In Regina, which is the only city along the highway's route, it begins at Ring Road concurrently with Arcola Avenue and heads south-east.

The town of Stoughton is at the intersections of three main highways, 13 (the Red Coat Trail), 33, and 47, and as such has the nickname "The Crossroads of Friendship".

[13][14] The terrain along Highway 33 is mainly undulating flat agricultural wheat and grain fields.

The name of the community of Lajord, for example, translated from Norwegian means "flat place", which aptly describes the scenery.

The Stoughton Campground is accessed from Highway 33 and has full-service campsites, a swimming pool, tennis court, and ball diamonds.
