This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Falun, 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 Falun.
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.

Falun is a hamlet in 10-46-27-W4, Alberta, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Falun is located at 52.9583°N, 113.8425°W.
Falun rests within a quiet stretch of Alberta, defined by the modest elevation of the nearby Pigeon Hills. It lies 31.2 km west of Wetaskiwin, AB (from Wetaskiwin, AB: bearing 268°T), and is situated 14.9 km east-south-east of Grandview. The earth here holds a certain clarity, where the horizon stretches wide and the light at dusk settles in long, amber layers over the fields. While the Battle River flows some 13 km away, the local horizon is dominated by the expansive prairie sky, occasionally interrupted by the distant, cool blue presence of Long Lake, situated 11 km from the center. Residents often look toward the horizon where the air feels sharpened by the proximity of Pigeon Lake Provincial Park, which lies 23 km distant, offering a seasonal shift in the wind that carries the scent of damp earth and deep timber. Agriculture remains the pulse of Falun, grounding the daily work of its people in the cycles of seeding and harvest. The economy relies on the stubborn productivity of the soil, a tradition that has persisted through generations of families who built their lives on the stability of the land. In the quiet hours of the morning, the sound of machinery provides a steady, rhythmic hum that marks the passage of the day, reflecting a life lived in direct conversation with the seasons. Falun maintains a character defined by this pragmatic independence, where the value of a person is measured by their resolve and the simple, honest labor applied to the surrounding acres.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. 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.
