This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for South Bentinck, 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 South Bentinck.
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.

South Bentinck is a locality in Range 3 Coast Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. South Bentinck is located at 52.0444°N, 126.6667°W.
South Bentinck rests in the Range 3 Coast Land District, where the Pacific tide meets the rugged transition of the mainland. It lies 38.1 km south of Bella Coola, BC (from Bella Coola, BC: bearing 171°T), and is situated 38.5 km south-south-west of Hagensborg. The air here carries a persistent, brine-heavy chill that clings to the skin, softened only by the persistent flow of the Noeick River as it carves a passage toward the sea. Looming above the waterline, Purgatory Ridge stands as a silent sentinel, its crags catching the low, bruised light of late afternoon to cast long, violet shadows across the inlet. While the landscape feels immense and untamed, the quietude of the coast is punctuated by the occasional rush of water, a constant reminder of the elemental forces at play. For those who dwell near the mouth of the Noeick River, the horizon is defined by the steep, forested inclines that rise sharply from the shore, creating a world where the verticality of the earth demands a different kind of attention from those who traverse it. Life in South Bentinck has long been shaped by the interplay between the dense, emerald timberlands and the demanding waters of the Pacific coast. The economic pulse of the region echoes the traditional reliance on the natural bounty provided by the surrounding wilderness, where the harvest of the forest and the pull of the tides have historically dictated the daily movements of the people. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the landscape opens toward the distant Purgatory Glacier, a frozen monolith that sits twenty-three kilometers away, while Michel Lake remains a secluded basin thirteen kilometers inland. Even at a distance of twenty-eight kilometers, the Thorsen Creek Conservancy serves as a reminder of the vast, protected reaches that define the character of this remote corridor. In this corner of the Range 3 Coast Land District, the passage of time is measured not by clocks, but by the shifting light upon the water and the seasonal migrations that animate the quiet stretches of the coast.

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 South Bentinck 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.
