Perhaps a little research on a *navigation graph* or *navgraph* would suit
your needs. It's an abstraction of all the locations in a game environment
the game agents may visit and of all the connections between those points.
You can add your *costs* to the structure and can be used for cell-based
environments.

Programming Game AI by Example by Mat Buckland describes these types of
graphs and others.
