This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Alpine Meadows, British Columbia. 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 Alpine Meadows.
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.

Alpine Meadows is a community in New Westminster Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Alpine Meadows is located at 50.1500°N, 122.9667°W.
Alpine Meadows rests as a quiet basin tucked against the rugged backdrop of the Spearhead Range, defined by the persistent, cold vitality of the Green River. It lies 3.8 km north-north-west of Whistler, BC (from Whistler, BC: bearing 346°T), and is situated 14.5 km north-east of McGuire. The land here holds a particular weight, where the light at dusk clings to the slopes, turning the rock faces into shades of bruised violet and copper. Within the New Westminster Land District, the terrain rises sharply from the valley floor, shaped by the proximity of the Green River and the nearby presence of Green Lake, which sits like a polished stone just two kilometers away. Three kilometers to the south, the water of Rainbow Falls drops in a sheer, silver ribbon, while the distant, frozen mass of Horstman Glacier looms eight kilometers off, a reminder of the ancient ice that once governed these heights. Even the vast reaches of Blackcomb Glacier Park, located nine kilometers away, exert an influence on the air, keeping it crisp and sharp against the skin, reminding those who walk these paths that the high peaks are never truly absent from the daily experience of Alpine Meadows. The history of Alpine Meadows is tethered to the shifting demands of the landscape, where the pursuit of mountain industry and the seasonal pulse of tourism have long dictated the pace of life. Those who reside in Alpine Meadows navigate a world where the economy remains closely tied to the surrounding topography, drawing residents who find purpose in the steep, demanding geography of the New Westminster Land District. The character of the locale is found in the practical, sturdy architecture and the quiet determination of a population that moves through the seasons with a respect for the volatile climate. Traditions here are quiet and internal, often measured by the first snowfall or the spring thaw that swells the Green River, filling the valleys with the sound of rushing meltwater. It is a life grounded in the tactile reality of stone and timber, where the modern world is present, yet always secondary to the immense, silent persistence of the mountains that frame every horizon.

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.
