About the map
Alberta is a province in Western Canada and is known for being the oil and gas hub of Canada. Besides that, it is also known for cattle ranching as well. Alberta borders British Columbia to the west, Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and Montana to the south.
Although it’s known as a prairie province, the Canadian Rockies still occupy most of the western region. The two largest cities in Alberta are Edmonton and Calgary. Even though Edmonton is the capital of Alberta, Calgary is the most populous. Besides these two major cities, Red Deer, Lethbridge, and Medicine Hat are all close to 100,000 in population.
