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 Amostown.
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.

Amostown is a locality in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Amostown is located at 46.5304°N, 66.2006°W.
Amostown rests in a quiet embrace where the land rises to meet the shadow of Molasses Hill. It lies 35.4 km south-west of Miramichi River Valley, NB (from Miramichi River Valley, NB: bearing 232°T), and is situated 7.5 km west-south-west of Doaktown. The Southwest Miramichi River carves a dark, persistent path through the low-lying basin, its currents carrying the scent of damp earth and cedar that lingers long after the sun dips below the horizon. Six kilometers away, the still waters of Lake of the Plains mirror the shifting clouds, offering a stark, glass-like contrast to the rush of the nearby river. The air here holds a crisp, heavy clarity, especially when the evening light turns the surrounding timber to deep hues of copper and charcoal, grounding the landscape in a stillness that feels both ancient and immediate. The history of Amostown remains linked to the timber that once defined the industry of the region, drawing laborers who built their lives along the banks of the Southwest Miramichi River. Local families continue to navigate the demands of the seasons, relying on the timber and the seasonal pulse of the waterways that have sustained generations of residents. While the pace of daily life follows the natural transition of the woods and weather, the people of Amostown maintain a tradition of self-reliance that echoes in the steady sound of axes and the quiet movement of trucks on gravel roads. Even as the modern world encroaches, the proximity to the silence of Lake of the Plains ensures that the character of the settlement remains defined by the solitude of the forest and the persistent, flowing presence of the river.
Amostown s'étire avec une patience minérale au pied de la colline Molasses, là où le sol semble retenir encore la chaleur des jours longs avant que l'ombre ne s'étende sur les terres basses. La rivière Southwest Miramichi serpente à proximité, son courant régulier dictant le rythme des heures et charriant une fraîcheur qui s'attarde sur les façades, rappelant les labeurs anciens des forestiers et des pionniers qui ont jadis défriché ces clairières. À six kilomètres de là, le lac of the Plains garde une immobilité presque solennelle, agissant comme un miroir pour le ciel changeant de Northumberland. Dans l'air, une odeur de bois résineux et de terre humide imprègne chaque ruelle, soulignant la rudesse élégante de ce relief où la végétation lutte pour chaque pouce de terrain. Les habitants d'Amostown cultivent une existence sobre, façonnée par les cycles du bois et la proximité constante des éléments sauvages qui encadrent leurs demeures. Le crépuscule y transforme la silhouette de la colline Molasses en une ligne sombre et protectrice, laissant la rivière Southwest Miramichi scintiller sous une clarté argentée, tandis que la vie quotidienne s'apaise dans une tranquillité qui appartient aux lieux où le monde moderne ralentit sa course pour écouter le souffle du paysage.

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 Amostown 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.
