This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cross Lake, Manitoba. 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 Manitoba or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Cross Lake 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 Cross 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.

Cross Lake is a northern community in 65-3-W, Manitoba, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Cross Lake is located at 54.6258°N, 97.7789°W.
Cross Lake anchors itself firmly against the expansive, dark waters of the lake that shares its name, sitting as a quiet sentinel amidst the rugged northern boreal terrain. It lies 70.7 km north of Norway House, MB (from Norway House, MB: bearing 2°T), and is situated 24.7 km north-north-west of The Elbow. The water here possesses a heavy, glass-like stillness, reflecting the deep blues and greys of a vast sky that seems to press down upon the spruce and pine forests. While the land remains largely defined by the reach of the water, the terrain shifts slightly as one moves away from the shore, leading the observant traveler toward the presence of Eves Falls, which lies roughly 13 km away. The air carries a crisp, lingering scent of damp earth and coniferous needles, a sensory reminder of the sheer scale of the wilderness that surrounds the settlement. The historical trajectory of Cross Lake is deeply rooted in the traditional lands and long-standing presence of the Pimicikamak people, who have navigated these waterways for generations. Life in Cross Lake continues to be shaped by the cycles of the northern seasons, with the local economy drawing strength from a blend of traditional harvesting practices and contemporary industry. The rhythm of daily existence often aligns with the movement of the water, as the local population manages the challenges and opportunities presented by the northern environment. This proximity to the land fosters a distinct perspective on resourcefulness, where the knowledge of the bush and the waterways remains a vital component of local identity. Cultural life in Cross Lake thrives through the persistence of Indigenous traditions and the shared experiences of those who call this northern landscape home. Gatherings often center around the seasonal changes, marking the transition from the long, silent winters to the brief, vibrant intensity of the northern summer. While the modern world touches Cross Lake through infrastructure and technology, the core of the experience here stays grounded in the quiet endurance of the people and their connection to the shores of Cross Lake. The geography acts as a constant companion, demanding a certain level of respect and patience from everyone who traverses its paths or casts a line into the depths of the water.

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 Cross 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.
