This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cross Roads, Prince Edward Island. 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 Cross Roads.
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 Roads is a locality in Queens, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cross Roads is located at 46.2176°N, 63.0778°W.
Cross Roads rests where the land softens into the Tea Hill, a quiet threshold overlooking the salt-heavy expanse of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It lies 5.1 km east-south-east of Charlottetown, PE (from Charlottetown, PE: bearing 120°T), and is situated 15.8 km south-east of Miltonvale Park. The Hillsborough River moves past the shore with a deliberate, tidal weight, its currents tracing the edges of the fields and shaping the low-lying terrain. While MacEacherns Lake holds the stillness of the inland woods six kilometres away, the air here is defined by the constant, bracing movement of the sea. Light at dusk lingers long against the horizon, catching the moisture in the breeze until the entire coastline glows with a bruised, metallic violet. Even as the distance to Parc national du Canada de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard marks a twenty-six-kilometre journey toward the dunes, the immediate geography of Cross Roads remains defined by its intimate proximity to the river’s mouth and the shifting moods of the gulf. Generations have observed the turning of the tides as the primary clock of daily life, grounding the local economy in the predictable pulse of the water and the seasonal cycles of the surrounding soil. History in Cross Roads is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring habit of working the land and the river with a practiced, patient hand. The local character reflects a resilience born of maritime winters, where the community maintains a steady focus on the essentials of harvest and passage. A distinctive stillness settles over the roads once the workday concludes, allowing the sound of the Hillsborough River to become the dominant presence in the evening. This balance between the labor of the earth and the influence of the gulf defines the identity of Cross Roads, ensuring that the rhythm of the place stays aligned with the natural features that cradle its boundaries.

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 Roads 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.
