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 Baie-des-Hérons.
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.

Baie-des-Hérons is a town in Restigouche, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Baie-des-Hérons is located at 48.0662°N, 66.3756°W.
Baie-des-Hérons rests upon the Atlantic coast, cradled by the heights of Convent Hill where the land meets the broad, tidal reaches of the Rivière Ristigouche. The air here holds the sharp, salt-edged clarity of the northern tides, cooling the skin even under the brightness of a midday sun. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the landscape rises into modest, wooded elevations that shelter the low-lying basin, while the distant, rushing sound of Chutes de Brébeuf occasionally carries on a shifting breeze. The light at dusk lingers long against the water, turning the surface of the Rivière Ristigouche into a sheet of hammered silver that reflects the darkening silhouette of the hills. The history of Baie-des-Hérons grew from the necessity of the sea and the bounty of the river, defining an economy long sustained by the movement of timber and the seasonal harvest of the coastal waters. Life here moves in alignment with the turning of the tides, and the legacy of early industry persists in the sturdy, weathered architecture that lines the shore. While the modern economy has diversified, the people maintain a quiet connection to the natural resources that first drew settlers to these banks. Those who work the land and water possess a practical wisdom, observing the subtle shifts in the current or the arrival of migratory birds with a patience that matches the endurance of the stone and silt beneath their feet. Cultural life in Baie-des-Hérons finds its expression in the shared stewardship of the surrounding environment, particularly the nearby Parc national de Miguasha which preserves the ancient, fossil-rich heritage of the region. Visitors often travel toward the Bassin de la Rivière Nouvelle, seeking the quietude found where the river widens before disappearing into the larger estuary. The local character is defined by a deep-seated respect for the natural landmarks that delineate the horizon, grounding the daily experience in a geography that has remained largely unchanged for generations. There is a distinct, resonant beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the slopes of Convent Hill, a reminder that the land itself dictates the pace and the priorities of those who call Baie-des-Hérons home.
Baie-des-Hérons s’étire avec une patience minérale sur la côte atlantique, là où la colline Convent semble protéger les habitations des souffles salins venus du large. Les eaux de la Rivière Ristigouche bordent ce rivage avec une régularité apaisante, charriant les reflets changeants d’un ciel qui s'étire au-dessus du Nouveau-Brunswick. À quelques encablures, le paysage révèle ses secrets géologiques ; le Parc national de Miguasha se dresse à cinq kilomètres, tandis que le Bassin de la Rivière Nouvelle et les Chutes de Brébeuf ponctuent le territoire environnant de leur présence silencieuse, marquant la mémoire des terres par leur éloignement mesuré. Baie-des-Hérons conserve une existence liée à la rudesse du climat maritime, où la lumière déclinante du soir transforme les reliefs en masses sombres et protectrices. Les activités humaines, discrètes mais tenaces, se déploient selon un rythme hérité de la mer et de la terre, façonnant une identité locale qui refuse la précipitation. Ici, l’air froid porte en lui une clarté presque tranchante qui souligne les contours du relief et la solidité des structures, permettant à chaque habitant de ressentir la permanence de ce cadre naturel, loin des agitations du monde, dans la quiétude durable de la côte atlantique.
