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 Brandon.
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.

Brandon is a city in Manitoba, Canada. It is classified as a major city. Brandon is located at 49.8469°N, 99.9522°W.
The prairie horizon stretches wide and unencumbered over Brandon, where the sky claims more than its fair share of the view. It lies 33.8 km north-east of Souris, MB (from Souris, MB: bearing 41°T), and is situated 11.8 km north-north-west of Brandon Hills. The Assiniboine River carves a deliberate path through the terrain, its currents dark and steady as they move past the banks. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the Brandon Hills rise as a subtle interruption to the flatness, grounding the skyline with their quiet, earthen weight. When the sun hangs low, the light catches the dust of the valley, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch toward Lake Percy, which sits tucked away just a few kilometres distant. Founding narratives for Brandon begin with the arrival of the railway, a steel pulse that quickened the heart of the settlement and drew people to the river’s edge. Early settlers recognized the utility of the Assiniboine River for transport and survival, building their lives where the water met the fertile plains. The growth of Brandon followed the tracks, expanding outward in a grid that acknowledges the necessity of trade and arrival. As the years settled into decades, the initial camps and temporary structures gave way to permanent brick and mortar, establishing a sturdy persistence that defines the character of the site. Agriculture remains the primary engine of the local economy, with the surrounding fields and processing facilities anchoring Brandon to the land’s seasonal cycle of harvest and growth. The industry here is defined by the rhythm of the soil, supporting a regional hub that provides essential goods and services to the wider expanse of the plains. Brandon serves as a central clearinghouse for the region, where the business of grain and livestock flows alongside the daily commerce of a working population. Even on the busiest afternoons, the air carries a faint, dry scent of chaff and earth, a reminder of the primary labor that sustains the life of the place. Cultural life in Brandon finds its footing at Brandon University, where the pursuit of knowledge acts as a steadying force for the next generation. The community gathers for major annual events that punctuate the calendar, drawing visitors to the grounds and ensuring that the local spirit remains vibrant despite the vastness of the surrounding space. Grand Valley Provincial Park offers a retreat into the natural world, providing a sanctuary for those who seek the quietude of the riverbanks and the stillness of the trees. Notable figures, including the acclaimed author Margaret Laurence, have emerged from the influence of this landscape, their work carrying the clear, sharp clarity of the prairie air.

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 Brandon 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.
