Located at the corner of highways 2 and 83, Pipestone is approximately 35 km from either Virden or Melita, approximately 70 km (43 mi) to the United States border and approximately 36 km (22 mi) to the Saskatchewan border. It is mainly an agricultural area with some oil drilling nearby.

Pipestone is part of the Rural Municipality of Pipestone. The office for the municipality is located in Reston, approximately 10 kilometers west on Highway 2.

It was the birthplace of John Hamilton Roberts, who commanded the landing forces in the Dieppe Raid in 1942.
