This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Split 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).

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 Split 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.

Split Lake is a community in Manitoba, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Split Lake is located at 56.2453°N, 96.0939°W.
Split Lake sits low and expansive against the water of the same name, a stretch of northern terrain where the horizon holds a heavy, silver light. It lies 86.3 km west of Gillam, MB (from Gillam, MB: bearing 263°T), and is situated 17.4 km north of York Landing. The land here is defined by the reach of the water, with the Assean River flowing through the quiet distance some 9 km away, carving its way through the dense, dark spruce that defines the horizon. In the stillness of an autumn evening, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that makes the distant sound of the water seem closer than it is. The landscape possesses a solemn, persistent weight, where the earth and the sky meet in a muted collision of grey and deep green, and the shoreline of Split Lake shifts with the subtle, restless movement of the ice and the seasons. The history of Split Lake is bound to the currents of the north, where the traditional ways of living have long been shaped by the necessity of moving with the land. The economy remains linked to the seasonal rhythms of the outdoors, where trapping, fishing, and local resource management provide the foundation for daily life. While the modern world touches the edges of the settlement, the pulse of Split Lake is dictated by the requirements of a northern life, demanding a practical, watchful engagement with the environment. There is a quiet industry in the way the people maintain their connections to the water, ensuring that the knowledge of the land is carried forward, not as a static relic, but as a living practice that informs the work of every day. The cultural identity of Split Lake is marked by a profound resilience and a deep-seated connection to the Cree heritage that informs the character of the people. Kawaseechiwak Falls, located about 20 km away, stands as a reminder of the raw, untamed power that defines this geography, acting as a site of quiet contemplation for those who know the land well. Life here moves according to the light, which lingers long in the summer and retreats early into the long, blue-shadowed winters. There is a particular beauty in the way the community gathers, a sense of shared belonging that persists despite the isolation of the north, finding expression in the gatherings and the steady, reliable persistence of those who call Split Lake home.

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 Split 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.
