This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cheecham, Alberta. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Cheecham.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Cheecham is a locality in 15-84-6-W4, Alberta, Canada. It is classified as a town. Cheecham is located at 56.2836°N, 110.8736°W.
Cheecham holds a quiet stillness within the boreal expanse, where the ground rises in subtle, muskeg-laden ridges that catch the pale, slanted light of a northern afternoon. It lies 54.8 km south-south-east of Fort McMurray, AB (from Fort McMurray, AB: bearing 147°T), and is situated 7.5 km south-east of Kinosis. Nearby, 49 Lake sits as a mirror to the passing clouds, its surface undisturbed by the reach of the Christina River, which carves its way through the earth some 17 km away. The air here carries the sharp, resinous scent of spruce and the damp, cool weight of peat, grounding the senses in a landscape that feels immense and indifferent to the clock. Even in the height of summer, the horizon pulls the eye toward a vastness that suggests the land is older and deeper than the paths traced across it. Cheecham emerged as a vital node for the railway, serving as a point of transit for the heavy industry and energy sectors that drive the work in this corner of Alberta. Life in Cheecham remains defined by the hum of machinery and the movement of freight, echoing the labor that sustains the local economy. While Gregoire Lake Provincial Park sits 29 km away as a reminder of the region’s wilder reaches, the daily experience here is one of focused utility and the steady persistence of those who work the line. The character of Cheecham is found in the iron-cold grip of winter nights and the resilience required to thrive in a place where the infrastructure of progress meets the unyielding silence of the woods.

It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
