Peace River’s location in Northern Alberta has historically contributed to the town’s role as an economic hub in the region. Located 195 km northeast of Grande Prairie and 486 km northwest of Edmonton, Peace River is in a critical location servicing surrounding communities and connecting Northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories to the rest of Alberta.
Peace River benefits from robust transportation infrastructure, including road, rail, and airport access, connecting it to surrounding communities. Major highways such as #2, #43/49, and #35 link Peace River to Grande Prairie and Edmonton, as well as northern communities like High Level, establishing its role as a moderate hub within the transportation network
