Saskatchewan Map

Description: This map shows cities, towns, province capital, rivers, lakes, highways, and major roads in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan occupies a central position in western Canada, spanning 251,700 square miles (651,900 square kilometers). The province borders Alberta to the west, Manitoba to the east, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut to the north, and the United States (Montana and North Dakota) to the south. Saskatchewan represents one of two Canadian provinces without access to ocean coastlines. As of 2025, the province supports a population of approximately 1,267,000 residents.

Regina serves as the provincial capital with approximately 246,000 inhabitants, while Saskatoon functions as the largest city with around 295,000 residents. Other significant urban centers include Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Yorkton, Swift Current, North Battleford, Estevan, Weyburn, and Lloydminster. These cities concentrate roughly half of Saskatchewan's total population within their boundaries.

The provincial economy demonstrates substantial diversification across multiple sectors. Agriculture forms a traditional economic foundation, with Saskatchewan controlling 44% of Canada's farmland and producing 54% of the nation's wheat. Farmers cultivate canola, barley, flax, mustard, rye, oats, lentils, and various vegetables across the fertile prairie lands. The province holds 75% of global potash reserves, positioning it as the world's leading potash exporter. Mining operations extract uranium, oil, and natural gas, with Saskatchewan dominating global uranium exports. The province achieved a GDP of 77.9 billion Canadian dollars in 2023, ranking fifth nationally in economic output. Manufacturing sectors produce biofuels, including ethanol and biodiesel derived from canola, barley, and wheat. The service sector, education, and healthcare contribute significantly to employment and economic stability.

Tourism capitalizes on Saskatchewan's natural assets, including approximately 100,000 lakes offering recreational opportunities. Prince Albert National Park, established in 1927, encompasses 3,875 square kilometers of boreal forest and prairie ecosystems, supporting populations of bison, caribou, wolves, and white pelicans. Grasslands National Park, designated in 1981, preserves 906.4 square kilometers of mixed-grass prairie habitat unique to North America, where visitors observe black-tailed prairie dogs, pronghorn antelope, and plains bison. Notable lakes include Little Manitou Lake, a saline body with mineral density three times that of ocean water, and Lake Athabasca, the province's largest lake at 7,936 square kilometers. Wanuskewin Heritage Park near Saskatoon documents 6,400 years of Indigenous Plains peoples' history through archaeological sites and interpretive programs. The RCMP Heritage Centre in Regina chronicles the history of Canada's national police force through exhibits and educational displays.
