Located approximately 37 kilometres south of Highway 16 and 131 kilometres southwest of Edmonton, Cynthia sits on the edge of Alberta's west country. It is situated just over 30 kilometres northwest of the town of Drayton Valley, accessible primarily via Highway 620, also known as the Cynthia Highway.
