TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Hay Camp.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Hay Camp is a hamlet in 15-121-9-W4, Alberta, Canada. It is classified as a city. Hay Camp is located at 59.5250°N, 111.4658°W.
Hay Camp occupies a singular, quiet stretch of land defined by the persistent presence of the Slave River. It lies 58.3 km south-south-east of Fort Smith, AB (from Fort Smith, AB: bearing 156°T), and is situated 63.9 km north-north-east of Carlson Landing. The terrain here holds a stark, northern clarity, where the water of the Slave River reflects the vast, pale sky of Alberta. Near the La Butte, the earth settles into a stillness that seems to amplify the soft rush of the current. Along the Bocquene River, the vegetation takes on a resilient, hardy character, bowing slightly under the weight of winds that carry the crisp scent of distant ice. At dusk, the light loses its sharpness, turning the landscape into a series of muted silhouettes that linger long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. The history of Hay Camp resides in the quiet utility of its location, serving as a waypoint for those navigating the northern waterways. Historically, the movement of goods and the demands of local resource gathering shaped the daily patterns of the people who frequented these banks. The economy has always been dictated by the proximity to the Slave River, which functions as both a passage and a source of sustenance. Life here demands a practical focus, where the work of the day follows the requirements of the water and the shifting seasons. The land offers little in the way of artifice, rewarding instead those who understand the specific, demanding temperament of the northern wilderness. Cultural life in Hay Camp is defined by the endurance of those who maintain a connection to the river and the surrounding expanse. Traditions here are not broadcast in grand gestures, but are held in the steady, repetitive tasks that mark the passing of the year. The silence of the region acts as a companion to the residents, a heavy, velvet presence that underscores the importance of every sound. While no singular landmark dominates the horizon, the confluence of the Bocquene River and the Slave River serves as a natural anchor for the local imagination. To spend time in Hay Camp is to accept the terms of a landscape that asks for nothing but respect, offering in return an unbroken view of the world in its most elemental state.

It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data for Hay Camp is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
