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

Glenrosa is a community in Osoyoos Division Yale Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Glenrosa is located at 49.8500°N, 119.6667°W.
Glenrosa settles into the rugged slopes overlooking Okanagan Lake, where the elevation rises sharply from the water toward the prominence of the Mine Hill. It lies 9.8 km north-north-east of Peachland, BC (from Peachland, BC: bearing 31°T), and is situated 13.0 km west-south-west of Kelowna. The earth here holds a dry, sun-baked warmth, and as dusk approaches, the light thins to a pale amber that clings to the dry grasses and scattered timber. Residents of Glenrosa look out across the expanse of the valley, finding a quiet stillness in the air that seems to gather in the hollows and along the ridges as the day draws to a close. While the Nicola River flows at a distance of 27 km, and the distant reaches of Okanagan Mountain Park and Hardy Falls sit 14 km away, the immediate terrain remains defined by the steep, sloping benches and the rocky outcrops that characterize the Osoyoos Division Yale Land District. The history of Glenrosa is rooted in the early efforts of those who saw potential in these hills, turning the land toward agricultural use and small-scale industry. Life in Glenrosa moves with a deliberate pace, centered on the domestic quiet of hillside homes and the persistence of local families who have long occupied the terrain. The economy has shifted from early rural enterprises to a residential character that values the proximity of the wild, rocky hillsides. On clear evenings, the silence of the higher ground carries a weight that feels ancient, grounding the modern day in the enduring presence of the surrounding geology.

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.
