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 Point Brule.
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.

Point Brule is a locality in 13-104-9-W4, Alberta, Canada. It is classified as a town. Point Brule is located at 58.0217°N, 111.3383°W.
Point Brule sits in a quiet reach of the Athabasca River, where the northern light settles long and pale over the low banks. It lies 77.7 km south of Fort Chipewyan, AB (from Fort Chipewyan, AB: bearing 188°T), and is situated 3.1 km south-south-east of Berdinskies. The water here holds a steady, heavy momentum, pulling past the silt and scrub that define the river’s edge. Four kilometers distant, the stillness of First Lake offers a contrast to the river’s persistent motion, the two bodies of water marking a landscape defined by endurance and the slow accumulation of sediment. In the waning hours of the day, the air grows sharp and clear, carrying the scent of damp earth and coniferous needles that cling to the sheltered hollows. The history of Point Brule remains tied to the movement of goods and people along the Athabasca River, a route that has served as a silent artery for generations. Those who dwell near Point Brule navigate a life dictated by the seasonal shift of the ice and the demands of the northern climate. Despite the isolation, the land provides a sense of clarity, with the vast, open sky reflecting against the surface of the river until the horizon blurs into a singular, deep shade of violet. Daily life here requires a practical vigilance, an attention to the changing temperament of the water and the encroaching cold that settles into the timber long before the first snow falls.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. 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.
