Explore Summerland, British Columbia, Canada, with this interactive street and satellite map. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above the map to switch views. You can “grab” the map and drag it to re-centre it, or use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours — plus shaded relief, a labelled UTM grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Summerland, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of British Columbia or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Summerland and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Summerland.
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.

Summerland is a district municipality in Osoyoos Division Yale Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Summerland is located at 49.6022°N, 119.6819°W.
Summerland rests upon the sloping benches that rise from the shore of Okanagan Lake, cradled by the volcanic prominence of Giants Head. It lies 12.9 km north-north-west of Penticton, BC (from Penticton, BC: bearing 331°T), and is situated 7.1 km west of Naramata. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of sun-warmed stone and the dry, flinty dust that rises from the hillsides as the afternoon light tilts toward evening. Below the residential heights, the landscape shifts in texture, moving from the open, arid scrub of the upper slopes to the fertile, irrigated flats that define the lower elevations. While the Okanagan River flows through the broader region, its presence is felt here only as a distant, arterial pulse some 12 km away, leaving the immediate terrain to the quiet stillness of the surrounding ridges and the distant, cooling influence of the water. The history of Summerland is rooted in the transformation of these benches into productive orchards, a legacy that continues to shape the local economy today. Early settlers recognized that the climate, moderated by the vast, deep basin of Okanagan Lake, offered a rare opportunity for stone fruit and viticulture to thrive in the interior. This agricultural foundation remains the primary industry, with rows of trees and vines marking the contours of the land in precise, seasonal geometry. Beyond the orchards, the economy benefits from a steady integration of small-scale manufacturing and service sectors, though the seasonal cycle of picking and pruning still dictates the primary tempo of human activity. Cultural life in Summerland finds expression in a preference for the local and the deliberate, where the boundaries between the built environment and the natural world feel remarkably thin. Residents often retreat to the quietude of the Trout Creek Ecological Reserve, located 6 km away, to observe the undisturbed native grasses and the persistent growth of the dry forest. Further afield, the cascade of Hardy Falls, situated 17 km away, serves as a seasonal destination for those seeking the sound of moving water against the silence of the canyons. The character of Summerland is defined by this proximity to wilder spaces, fostering a collective habit of looking outward toward the horizon, where the light plays across the surface of the lake until the last color drains from the sky.

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 Summerland 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.
