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

Christina Lake is a community in Similkameen Division Yale Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Christina Lake is located at 49.0431°N, 118.2083°W.
Christina Lake stretches out as a basin of profound clarity, cradled by the slopes near the Baker Ridge in the Similkameen Division Yale Land District. It lies 16.9 km east of Grand Forks, BC (from Grand Forks, BC: bearing 85°T), and is situated 3.5 km north-north-east of Billings. The water holds the sky in a mirror so precise that the boundary between horizon and surface blurs, especially as the sun begins to retreat behind the rising terrain. Nearby, Cascade Falls drops with a persistent, percussive energy that punctuates the stillness of the surrounding woods. Hikers and residents often congregate near Christina Lake Park, where the shoreline allows for a quiet contemplation of the depths. The air here carries a crisp, pine-scented weight, a reminder that the rugged geography dictates the temper of the day. History clings to the banks of the Kettle River, which serves as a vital artery for the landscape and influences the lifeblood of the region. Agriculture and seasonal commerce define the local economy, drawing those who find value in a life dictated by the changing seasons rather than the rush of distant urban centers. Christina Lake remains a hub for those seeking the solitude of the interior, where the work of the day is often measured by the height of the sun against the Baker Ridge. Traditions here are quiet, centered on the preservation of the natural surroundings and the steady, reliable flow of the Kettle River. Even as modern industry touches the fringes, the character of the land dictates a slower, more deliberate pace, ensuring that the essence of the region persists in the quiet corners of the valley.

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 Christina Lake 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.
