Maps of districts (povit) with villages existing about 1900 for the areas of Ukraine from which people emigrated to Alberta can be found at the website of the Ukrainian Cultural Village

Villages that aren't named on Google maps can be accurately located by copying the name of the village from the Family History Library catalog, and pasting the Ukrainian version of the name into the Google search field.

Here's an example using the topic details window for the village of Kyseliv in Bukovina. Google can't find Kyseliv if this Romanized version of the name is the search term. If you click on the third link in the Subjects box (it's in Ukrainian) this link takes you to the subject details page from which you can copy and paste the Ukrainian version of the village name into the Google search field. The name of the village in the FHL catalog is from country to village-Google likes searches to be from smallest geographic unit to largest so you can reverse the names by copying and pasting or just search for the rightmost word in the FHL entry.
