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 Alcida.
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.

Alcida is a locality in Gloucester, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Alcida is located at 47.7706°N, 65.8290°W.
Alcida occupies a quiet expanse of high ground near the Tetagouche Hill, where the land holds the cool, damp breath of the northern woods. It lies 12.2 km north-west of Belle-Baie, NB (from Belle-Baie, NB: bearing 309°T), and is situated 8.5 km west of Petit-Rocher. The Nigadoo River carves a narrow, persistent path through the terrain, its current providing a constant, low-frequency hum that defines the local atmosphere. In the late afternoon, the light here turns a bruised, translucent gold, catching the edges of the trees and revealing the subtle, uneven texture of the earth. Beyond the immediate clearings, the landscape remains largely defined by its forested seclusion, with Lac à la Truite tucked away seven kilometers distant, hidden by the dense, persistent growth of the canopy. The character of Alcida reflects the endurance of those who settled along these northern slopes, where the work of the day often aligns with the slow, deliberate turning of the seasons. Agriculture and forestry have long provided the marrow for the local economy, keeping the inhabitants close to the cycles of the soil and the timber harvest. While the rush of the world seems to bypass these quiet roads, the presence of Tetagouche Falls seventeen kilometers away serves as a reminder of the raw, kinetic power inherent in the water that shapes the surrounding region. Life in Alcida moves with a steady, watchful composure, rooted in a history of self-reliance that values the stillness of the evening air as much as the labor of the morning.
Alcida s’éveille sous une clarté diaphane, là où les terres du Nouveau-Brunswick s’étirent avec une humilité toute particulière vers les contreforts de la colline Tetagouche. Dans ce cadre austère et serein, la rivière Nigadoo serpente entre les arbres, ses eaux sombres portant en elles le murmure constant d’une géographie façonnée par les siècles. Le Lac à la Truite, niché à quelques encablures, offre ses reflets d’argent aux cieux changeants, tandis que le fracas lointain des chutes Tetagouche ponctue le silence des terres environnantes. L’âme d’Alcida demeure indissociable de ce sol exigeant, hérité des familles acadiennes qui ont su dompter les frimas par la patience du travail agricole. Ici, le temps ne se mesure pas au rythme des hommes, mais à la course du soleil sur les champs et à la fraîcheur persistante d’un air qui semble conserver le souvenir des forêts anciennes. La vie quotidienne, rythmée par la rudesse bienveillante de la nature, s’écoule sans artifice, portée par une résilience silencieuse. À la tombée du soir, lorsque les ombres s’allongent depuis la colline Tetagouche, Alcida se drape d’une mélancolie douce, rappelant à ceux qui l’habitent la permanence de ces paysages dont la beauté, humble et dépouillée, suffit à elle seule à justifier l’attachement profond des siens.

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 Alcida 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.
