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.

[edit] Activities

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