Is there a detailed map of all the lakes, rivers and streams in Alberta?

I know there is one for AB lakes (though i can't remember the name of it) that provide contours. For rivers yu could try google earth...

Angler's Atlas has maps of Alberta lakes online. Some are free & others are members only. Here's the link, check it out.

I find the backroads mapbooks are pretty good.

I use a combination of Barry Mitchell's Alberta Fishing Guide, the back roads map book, and Google maps.

Thanks headscan - do they sell that at Wholesale?

Yes all the backroads map books are for sale at Wholesale, as well as tons of other places. MEC, Campers Village, Fishtales, Cdn. Tire, etc. I agree with the idea of using more than one source. I have found errors on all the maps I have used. For example the Backroad map book for SE BC shows a road on the wrong side of Alexander CK. I usually cross reference to check for errors. Sustainable Res. has a new series of maps for the Ghost/Waiporus and the Big Horn -free from Sust Res. or ranger stations.

Here is another great resource. Lots of info on every lake and includes Bathometric maps in the appendix of each lake.

I have a copy of a book called Lakes of Alberta Directory (special edition). It contains depth (hydrographic) charts of 202 game fish lakes for the province. I have had it for quite a few years so not sure if it is still available. But you could contact:

Thanks for all the info - I went to MEC and picked up the southern Alberta Backroads Map (Wholesale was sold out), and also picked up a topo map there of southwestern Alberta ($5) which has a lot of detail and also list access points on the hiking trails. It also gives you an idea of how strenuous the elevation changes are

Thanks again, and good fishing.
