It lies 71.0 km north-north-east of Rosthern, SK (from Rosthern, SK: bearing 33°T), and is situated 12.1 km south of White Star.

The economy of Prince Albert remains tied to these natural endowments, with forestry, agriculture, and resource extraction forming its backbone, while a growing service sector supports its expanding population.
