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

Boundary Falls is a locality in Similkameen Division Yale Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Boundary Falls is located at 49.0333°N, 118.7000°W.
Boundary Falls rests within the Similkameen Division Yale Land District, where the terrain rises toward the prominence of Knob Hill. It lies 19.0 km west of Grand Forks, BC (from Grand Forks, BC: bearing 271°T), and is situated 6.4 km south-south-west of Greenwood. The air here holds a crisp, mineral clarity, particularly as the late afternoon light catches the geological strata that define the immediate surroundings. Boundary Falls occupies a landscape marked by verticality and the quiet persistence of natural forces, sitting just 3 km from the verdant, sheltered grounds of Boundary Creek Park. While the Kettle River traces its path through the lower reaches some 6 km away, the local elevation creates a distinct sense of enclosure, a rugged amphitheater of rock that feels entirely removed from the broader expanses of the province. Further out, the presence of Marshall Lake, located 11 km distant, adds to the quiet distribution of water across this high-country terrain, influencing the humidity that clings to the valley walls during the cooler hours of the morning. The history of Boundary Falls is anchored in the extractive ambitions that once drew prospectors and laborers to these slopes to test the endurance of the earth. Remnants of a former industrial vigor persist in the topography, though the pace of life has long since settled into a quiet, observant stillness. Those who live near Boundary Falls navigate a world defined by the steep, pine-shadowed inclines of Knob Hill, where the local economy shifted from the volatile extraction of ore to a more modest, land-based resilience. There is a particular, stark beauty in how the structures of the past have surrendered to the slow encroachment of lichen and moss, leaving the landscape to settle into a permanent, hushed composure that favors the patient observer over the hurried traveler.

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 Boundary Falls 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.
