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

Tomahawk is a hamlet in 12-51-6-W5, Alberta, Canada. It is classified as a town. Tomahawk is located at 53.3975°N, 114.7653°W.
Tomahawk sits nestled within the vast, quiet expanse of the Alberta interior, where the horizon pulls the sky down to meet the earth in a persistent, open embrace. It lies 24.0 km north-east of Drayton Valley, AB (from Drayton Valley, AB: bearing 37°T), and is situated 10.0 km south of Horen. The land here is defined by a sturdy, unassuming grace, characterized by fields that hold the morning frost long after the sun has climbed high. To the west, the North Saskatchewan River carves a path through the terrain, its presence felt in the cool, damp air that lingers near the low-lying hollows. Nearby, the still waters of Kitto Lake offer a mirror to the passing clouds, while the more expansive, wilder reaches of Eagle Point Provincial Park provide a sanctuary for the local flora and fauna that thrive in this temperate, northern climate. At dusk, the light turns a thin, bruised violet, casting long shadows that sharpen the edges of the grain elevators and fences, lending a momentary sharpness to the blurred lines of the prairie. Agriculture remains the heartbeat of Tomahawk, as the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest dictate the pace of life for those who work the dark, fertile soil. The history of the region is rooted in the early homesteaders who arrived to clear the brush and build a life from the stubborn, heavy earth. While industry and the quiet hum of local enterprise support the day-to-day needs of the residents, the true character of the locality emerges in the resilience required to thrive through the deep, biting winters. People move with a deliberate, practical care, attending to their tasks with the understanding that the land demands both respect and constant vigilance. There is a profound stillness to be found in the late afternoon, a quietude that settles over the fields and reminds one that, despite the reach of modern machinery, Tomahawk exists on the terms set by the wind and the seasons.

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.
Location data for Tomahawk 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.
