This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Masset, British Columbia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Masset.
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.

Masset is a village in Queen Charlotte Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Masset is located at 54.0111°N, 132.1467°W.
Masset rests upon the Pacific coast, poised where the land yields to the vast, grey inhalation of the tide. It lies 84.2 km north of Daajing Giids, BC (from Daajing Giids, BC: bearing 358°T), and is situated 0.7 km west-north-west of Delkatla. The Hancock River winds through the low-lying terrain of the Íits'aaw, carrying the scent of salt and rain toward the sea. Here, the light at dusk possesses a bruised, silver quality that clings to the shoreline, illuminating the Estrado Lagoon as it mirrors the heavy, shifting clouds. Beyond the immediate reach of the coast, the Nang Xaldangaas Conservancy stands as a quiet expanse of wilderness, anchoring the horizon in deep, impenetrable green. The history of Masset draws its strength from the sea, a legacy built upon the harvests of the Pacific and the resilient traditions of those who first inhabited these shores. Local industry remains anchored to the water, with the rhythm of the docks dictating the pulse of daily life as fishing vessels navigate the currents of the Hancock River. The economy persists through a pragmatic dedication to the marine environment, where the cold, clean air serves as a constant reminder of the physical demands of life in the Queen Charlotte Land District. Residents move with a deliberate purpose, their work defined by the seasonal turns and the persistent, damp weight of the maritime climate. Cultural life in Masset reflects a deep, enduring connection to Indigenous heritage, which shapes the identity of the people and the solemn beauty of the surroundings. Traditional knowledge informs the stewardship of the land, while the proximity to the Nang Xaldangaas Conservancy provides a space for reflection and the preservation of ancestral ties. The atmosphere is one of profound stillness, broken only by the calling of gulls or the restless movement of the wind against the coastal cedar. Even when the fog rolls in from the Pacific to shroud the houses in a heavy, white veil, Masset maintains an unshakable sense of presence, grounded by the steady, dark flow of the Hancock River.

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.
Location data for Masset 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.
