Covering the central part of the province including the cities of Red Deer and Edmonton, this mapbook contains numerous updates and expansions from the previous edition including adding Oil & Gas points. From the area around Lac La Biche in the northeastern reaches of this book, where some of Alberta’s best lake fishing can be found, to the stunning Rocky Mountain Parks in the western reaches and the sprawling prairie wilderness in between, there is no shortage of options for outdoor recreation in Central Alberta. Hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, ATVing and snowmobiling are just some of the adventures that await outdoor explorers. This is an expansive area, and while that makes for plenty of space to explore and play, it can also make finding that special outdoor spot that much more difficult.

We have spent countless hours updating and expanding our maps, written content and layout to allow you to get out and explore this magical part of Canada with the outmost confidence. We can confidently say that there is no better resource available for making the most out of Central Alberta’s great outdoors!
