How this list was compiled: Items made on 2026-10-01; ids and points are the points file's, except the point of Alberta, which stands in the open northwest of the province: among the dots of the south its number read as one more town. Alberta has no first-level units below it in the map source, so the sheet numbers the province, its four neighbors, three lakes, four rivers and seven places. Every name was read on 2026-10-01 in the Canadian Geographical Names Database of Natural Resources Canada (https://geogratis.gc.ca/services/geoname/en/geonames: Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories as official names of a province or territory; Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Grande Prairie as cities and Fort McMurray as an unincorporated place; Lake Athabasca, Lake Claire, Lesser Slave Lake; Athabasca River, Peace River, North Saskatchewan River, South Saskatchewan River, and Bow River ending at 49.93 N 111.69 W) and in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta (the four neighbors, Edmonton as capital, Calgary as largest city, the three lakes, the Athabasca and the Peace) with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Saskatchewan_River (the river starts where the Bow meets the Oldman) and https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/alberta (Lake Claire and Lesser Slave Lake, the Rocky Mountains on the boundary with British Columbia, Fort McMurray in the northeast, Grande Prairie in the northwest). Montana: the U.S. Census Bureau's list of states (https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/reference/state.txt). Statistics Canada counts 10 provinces and 3 territories (https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/92-195-x/2021001/geo/prov/prov-eng.htm). The source spells Grande Prairie "Grand Prairie"; the label follows the names database and the source's spelling is accepted. The source files the Bow River under the name South Saskatchewan; that stretch is left off the drawing, so the line begins where the South Saskatchewan does. On the Named sheet the two Saskatchewan rivers are written N. Sask. River and S. Sask. River (short), because the full names do not fit beside their neighbors; the key and the quiz keep the full names.

The sheet opens blank. Choose Numbered to put a number on Alberta, its neighbors, the lakes, the rivers and the seven dots, or Named for their names, then press Print this map. Print the answer key gives the names on a sheet of their own.
What the map draws
British Columbia is to the west, Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north and Montana to the south. The rivers are the Peace, the Athabasca, the North Saskatchewan and the South Saskatchewan. The lakes are Lake Athabasca, Lake Claire and Lesser Slave Lake. The Bow River through Calgary is not named in the map source, so it is not drawn.
On the Named sheet the two Saskatchewan rivers are shortened to N. Sask. River and S. Sask. River. The answer key has the full names.
