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

Valemount is a village in Cariboo Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Valemount is located at 52.8294°N, 119.2800°W.
Valemount occupies a rugged expanse in the Cariboo Land District, cradled by the imposing presence of the Selwyn Range. It lies 79.2 km south-east of McBride, BC (from McBride, BC: bearing 131°T), and is situated 5.5 km north-north-west of Cedarside. The air here holds a sharp, thin clarity that catches the light of the low sun, turning the surrounding peaks into silhouettes of iron and shadow. Nearby, the cold, steady pulse of the Canoe River flows through the valley floor, while the surface of Cranberry Lake mirrors the shifting moods of the sky. The terrain is defined by these immense vertical lines, where the reach of the heights suggests a stillness that settles deep into the valley, waiting for the winter snow to soften the harsh edges of the rock. The history of Valemount tracks the expansion of the rails and the persistent industry of those who sought a life among the timber and the mountain passes. Logging and railway operations have long shaped the local economy, anchoring the workforce in the rhythms of extraction and transportation that define the interior frontier. Even now, the steady hum of commerce persists against the backdrop of an unforgiving landscape, where the work of the day is measured by the haul of wood or the maintenance of the lines. This is a place that demands a certain tenacity, as the residents navigate an environment that offers little quarter to those who do not respect the sheer scale of the wilderness. Cultural life in Valemount finds its expression in the collective appreciation for the vast, untamed reaches that begin just beyond the doorstep. Visitors and locals alike find their way to Mount Terry Fox Park to witness the stature of the landscape, or travel the short distance to hear the heavy, percussive roar of Rearguard Falls. The proximity of the McLennan Glacier serves as a silent, icy reminder of the geological forces that carved this basin. Life here follows the seasons, moving from the thaw of spring to the deep, muffled silence of autumn, with a character forged by the proximity of the wild and the shared understanding that the mountains hold the final say in all things.

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 Valemount 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.
