Supernatural Locations Master Post

This post houses a collection of links to my locations master posts for each season of Supernatural to help navigate this blog. There is also a link to a master Google map of all known locations. Note: some may find it easier to browse location resources on my website. 

Each season’s master post contains three elements for every episode in that season:

A post of Then and Now photos, comparing screenshots from the episode to my own photos of the locations I have visited.

A map of all the known locations from the episode with screenshots and a key indicating which are able to be visited.

A post of the exterior/public locations that remain unidentified from the episode, if any.

Then and Now posts are updated after each location hunting trip to Vancouver that I take, with the next one scheduled for 2024. (I have about 300-400 locations still to photograph.) 

The maps and unidentified location posts are updated regularly as I track down additional locations. Note: I generally only include the exterior locations and any obviously public interiors (restaurants, bars, etc.). Interiors, by and large, are excluded as they are a) pretty much impossible to identify, b) probably private property and c) often a set in the studio. There are some exceptions where an interior was identified on a resource such as a call sheet or filming notice.

There are currently 1,436 unique locations pinned on the maps, accounting for 2,106 locations in total, since many were either revisited in multiple episodes or the same footage was reused. That leaves 239 locations left to be identified, about 60 of which are driving footage. 

If anyone has questions about a location or recognizes one of the unidentified locations, I’d love to hear from you - just drop a line in my ask box!

For anyone planning a trip to Vancouver to visit locations, and looking to see multiple locations in an area, you may find this Google Map of all known locations more useful than looking at individual episode maps. It’s ever evolving as I find new locations, but it is a complete list of all known locations to date with screenshots and notes for visitors.

For anyone planning a trip to New Orleans to visit locations, and looking to see multiple locations in an area, you may find this Google Map of all known locations more useful than looking at individual episode maps. Like the individual maps, it’s still a work in progress as long as there are unidentified locations but it is a complete list of what is currently known.

The Winchesters 1x01 Pilot Map

In case anyone was wondering if I was going to continue my Supernatural location hunting adventures over to The Winchesters, the answer is yes! And locations from the pilot are almost all identified. Just two I haven't tracked down yet.

Unlike Supernatural, which filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, The Winchesters films in New Orleans, Louisiana, so the locations are scattered across New Orleans, a small town called Amite north of the city, Westwego which is on the western side of the Mississippi and a couple spots headed further west in Edgard. Most are in public areas, so should be great for visiting. The big exception is Fort Macomb where they filmed the interior scenes in the tomb as that is an old Civil War fort not open to the public. You can also only see the outside of the building where they filmed the Men of Letters clubhouse in the pilot.

I got to most of the visitable Pilot locations on my trip to New Orleans for SPNNOLA but didn't make it up to Amite, so a second visit will be required at some point.

Don’t see the location for a scene on the map? Check this post on unidentified locations from the episode. If you still don’t see what you are looking for, it was probably shot on set or a private interior. Feel free to drop a line in the ask box with questions!

SPN 11x04 Baby Map

This is my absolute favorite episode and, as such, I have been hell bent on identifying locations. After a couple of deep dives into the location hunt, I've got it down to one remaining unknown (and boy is that one gonna bug me!). Unfortunately, several of the locations are not easily visitable. There are several scenes, including the spot where they filmed the infamous reverse 180 in the Impala, that were filmed on First Nations land on Mcmillan Island and are thus not visitable without permission from the tribe. The spot where they built the Roadhouse and the road where they filmed "Night Moves" are also a little iffy as they are in an active industrial area, but you should be able to do a drive-by, just be careful of the big trucks going in and out. The scene where Dean beheads the "were-pire" with Cas on the phone is in the parking lot of Panther Paintball (as is the photo Jensen tweeted while they were filming of him napping in the Impala, which is how I figured it out), so plan on playing some airsoft if you're looking to visit that location. The spot where the girls do donuts in the Impala is in a private business off Argue St that was also used in the following episode, but Argue St itself, which is used in three different driving scenes, including the free-driving scene with the boys messing around in the car, is fully accessible, though part of it is pedestrian only. That's also the same street used in several episodes in S13 and S14 for road scenes (it's a handy spot because they don't have to close a road if they shoot in the predestrian section).

The Artful Dodger Pub & Liquor Store was one of the first locations I got seriously giddy about when visiting because it looks pretty much exactly as it did on screen. The interiors there were also used for The Werther Project if you feel like dining. The nearby Race Trac Gas was also used in Slash Fiction and Meta Fiction in addition to this episode. The dog grooming business where the valet picks up her friend is a business on N Fraser Way which had a totally different view at the time of filming because the building across the street hadn't been built yet. The final scene with the beautiful view of Baby driving away is on 12th St in Burnaby, right across the street from a building used in War of the Worlds and Last Holiday. You'll have to head WAY out of town to see the spot from the beautiful driving shot of the Impala, as it was filmed along Nicola Lake, most likely not during this episode but on what I like to think of as the Impala road trip when they clearly took Baby on an adventure to get a bunch of stock driving footage to pepper into episodes.

Finally, my very favorite location is the pier at the end of Kerr St where they filmed the long scene of the boys talking and going to sleep in the Impala. I love standing there and knowing I'm in the same spot as my favorite scene on the show. Plus, every time I visit I eat at Romer Burger Bar next door, which is where they got all the burgers you see the boys eating on screen (and they are VERY good burgers).

Season 7 Locations Master Post

The locations Master Post for season 7 is now complete!

I had some pretty good luck filling in the blanks on unidentified locations in this season. I was particularly excited about finding a building on Tillicum St in Burnaby that I had been looking for a while that has appeared in multiple episodes, including Death’s Door. There is definitely a rush in finally matching up a spot. I’m not sure this makes sense, since obviously all the locations are real, but locating the actual place feels like bringing it from fantasy to reality and it makes me feel more connected to the show. 

While I have done individual posts for each episode from Season 7 the contents of those posts are collected here for ease of reference. What you’ll find below are links to three components for each episode:

My location photos post for each episode with Then and Now pictures of every location I’ve visited thus far, side-by-side with a screenshot of the location from the episode. I’ll continue to update these as I visit more locations in the future or get more accurate photos.

An episode specific map for each episode showing where the known locations are (or were in the case of locations that no longer exist). These include screenshots of the scenes where each location appears in the episode, and my own key for visitors on what you can visit and what you can’t. I’ll continue to add locations as any additional ones are identified.

A post on unidentified locations from each episode (assuming there are any). These only include the exterior locations and any obviously public interiors (restaurants, bars, etc.). Interiors by and large are excluded as they are a) pretty much impossible to identify, b) probably private property and c) often a set in the studio. If any of the locations from these posts are identified, I’ll move them over to the respective episode map.

Disclaimer: I have personally visited and verified as many of these locations as I possibly can but there are some that aren’t accessible, no longer exist or I just haven’t gotten to yet. If you think a location is incorrect, or you recognize one of the unidentified locations, I’d love to hear from you. Just drop a line in my ask box!

SPN 5x22 Swan Song Map

The exact field where they filmed Stull Cemetary isn't visible from the road due to trees but you can get the idea (my own pictures are the property but not the exact field. The little cluster of locations in Vancouver is in the same neighborhod where Dean visited the doc in Death Takes a Holiday and where we eventually see Cas after he falls in the beginning of S9 AND the alley scenes from Unfinished Business so there's lots to see in that neighhood.

Season 2 Locations Master Post

The locations Master Post for Season 2 is now complete! 

Once again I have to give credit to all the location hunters that have come before me for identifying the majority of these locations (Raloria of SPN_Locations even tracked down the location from the image above based on my Twitter request before my last Vancouver trip!). I have filled in the blanks with a few of my own finds too and the number of locations that remain unidentified is pretty limited all things considered (6 episodes with no unknowns!). I love the puzzle that is finding a location from the available clues and I’ve really enjoyed being able to analyze locations in relation to each other on the maps.

While I have done individual posts for each episode from Season 2, the contents of those posts are collected here for ease of reference. What you’ll find below are links to three components for each episode:

My location photos post for each episode with Then and Now pictures of every location I’ve visited thus far, side-by-side with a screenshot of the location from the episode. I’ll continue to update these as I visit more locations in the future or get more accurate photos.

Season 1 Locations Master Post

My second trip to Vancouver to visit locations where Supernatural was filmed was after they announced that Season 15 would be the last. I started the trip attending VanCon and on the official location tour with Russ Hamilton he commented on how sad it was that some of the memorable locations where the show has filmed are starting to disappear. It occurred to me that the locations are one of the most tangible reminders of the show that a fan can experience after it is over, and I was suddenly desperate to visit and document as many locations as I could before more of them disappear. I was also inspired to start this blog to share my own photos following in Sam and Dean’s footsteps, as a tribute to our beloved show. 

Now I’ve taken it one step further. While in lockdown I have embarked on a rewatch of the entire series with the purpose of doing a scene by scene location breakdown of every episode. I wanted to figure out just what was known, what was “unvisitable” because it was in studio, on private property, or no longer exists, and what was still unidentified that could maybe be tracked down. I’ve been pulling together all the information I had from various fansites, both current and defunct (thank you Wayback Machine), accounts of Russ Bus tours over the years, and my own location identifications. When I say I am standing on the shoulders of work done by other fans over the years, I am not exaggerating AT ALL. Maybe 30% of all the locations I’ve documented are ones I located myself, so I will be the first one to lay praise on the fans that have been tracking locations for years before I even started watching the show.   I’ve been doing posts on individual episodes, but I’m now at a point in this project where I am ready to collect the results for Season 1 into a master post. What you’ll find below are links to three components for each episode:

My location photos post for each episode with Then and Now pictures of every location I’ve visited thus far, side-by-side with a screenshot of the location from the episode. I’ll continue to update these as I visit more locations in the future.
