Aerial view of the southern portion of the Slave Lake graticule

The Slave Lake, Alberta graticule is at 55, -114. There's Slave Lake, which has a small airport, and a highway. And there's part of Lesser Slave Lake. And mosquitoes. And bears. Also there is better Google Maps imagery for Ulaanbaator, Mongolia than for Slave Lake. Compare for yourself.

Activities

If you are lucky enough to be in this graticule in mid-July, you can attend the Alberta Open Sandsculpture Championships.
