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 Chu Chua.
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.

Chu Chua is a locality in Kamloops Division Yale Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Chu Chua is located at 51.3500°N, 120.1667°W.
Chu Chua rests within the Kamloops Division Yale Land District, defined by the steady, persistent pull of the North Thompson River against the earth. It lies 75.9 km north of Kamloops, BC (from Kamloops, BC: bearing 9°T), and is situated 8.6 km south-south-east of Little Fort. Beyond the shoreline, the horizon rises toward the slopes of Genier Hill, where the low-angled light of late afternoon catches the dust of the valley floor and turns it to a fine, golden mist. Chu Chua Cottonwood Park offers a quiet sanctuary where the trees stand tall and silent, their leaves shivering in the drafts that move down from the higher elevations. Just a short distance away, the surface of Sanborn Lake holds the reflection of the sky with a mirror-like stillness, disturbed only by the occasional ripple of a waterfowl. The air here holds a distinct crispness, a clarity that seems to sharpen the outlines of every ridge and branch before the evening chill settles in. The history of Chu Chua remains deeply rooted in the stewardship of the land, an inheritance of Indigenous heritage that informs the way the valley is inhabited today. Economic life continues to draw from the natural abundance of the region, balancing small-scale land use with a respect for the surrounding wilderness. Life in Chu Chua moves with a deliberate, steady pace, where the sound of the North Thompson River acts as a constant, low-frequency pulse beneath the daily activities of the residents. Whether tending to the land or navigating the slopes near Genier Hill, there is a sense of belonging to a geography that demands both patience and observation. Even in the modern era, the identity of Chu Chua persists as a quiet assertion of continuity, holding firm against the backdrop of the rugged terrain.
