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 Lethbridge.
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.

Lethbridge is a city in 8,9-21-W4, Alberta, Canada. It is classified as a major city. Lethbridge is located at 49.6936°N, 112.8419°W.
Lethbridge sits perched upon the high, windswept plains of Alberta, where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the sun each evening. It lies 40.6 km east of Fort Macleod, AB (from Fort Macleod, AB: bearing 94°T), and is situated 10.0 km west-south-west of Broxburn. The terrain here is defined by the deep, persistent carving of the Oldman River, which slices through the earth to reveal layers of ancient sediment under the vast, open sky. Near the Wild Turnip Hill, the land rises and falls with a stark grace, offering a vantage point that catches the sharp, golden light of late afternoon. Henderson Lake provides a quiet, mirrored reprieve from the intensity of the prairie wind, while the more expansive reach of Park Lake Provincial Park draws those who seek the stillness of the tall grass and the nesting birds. The story of Lethbridge began in the shadow of the coal seams that once fueled the ambitions of early industry. Where the river bends, men arrived to pull black stone from the earth, transforming a rugged outpost into a center of labor and movement. The settlement grew outward from these initial tunnels and tracks, with the rhythm of the train whistle marking the hours of the day. Families settled into the coulees, building homes that looked out over the valley, learning to endure the relentless breeze that defines the temperament of the land. Today, the economy of Lethbridge pulses with the strength of agriculture and the innovation of research, serving as a hub for the vast fields that surround it. The university and college campuses act as anchors for the intellect of the region, drawing students who study the science of the soil and the mechanics of modern trade. Businesses here often look toward the horizon for their next venture, processing the bounty of the plains and shipping it toward distant markets. Lethbridge remains a place of steady work, where the labor of the field meets the precision of the laboratory, ensuring that the bounty of the harvest finds its way from the furrow to the table. Cultural life in Lethbridge is marked by a deep appreciation for the arts and the shared history of the people who call this landscape home. Notable figures, such as the novelist Robert Kroetsch, have captured the singular spirit of the prairies in their work, finding meaning in the isolation and the beauty of the dry, expansive vistas. Annual events bring the residents together, filling the streets with a vitality that counters the stillness of the surrounding plains. Whether attending a performance or walking along the river valley, the people of Lethbridge maintain a quiet pride in their home, living in harmony with the shifting light and the enduring strength of the Alberta sky.

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.
Location data for Lethbridge is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
