The Surrey, BC graticule is at latitude 49, longitude -122. It encompasses the eastern half of Metro Vancouver (including all of the Tri-Cities, New Westminster, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, North Delta, Surrey and Langley; most of Burnaby; and part of North Vancouver), and extends east through the Fraser Valley past Abbotsford.
The northern half of this graticule falls largely within Golden Ears and Garibaldi Provincial Parks.
The graticule is bounded by Whistler to the north, Chilliwack to the east, Bellingham, WA to the south, and Vancouver to the west.
