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 Barrieau.
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.

Barrieau is a locality in Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Barrieau is located at 46.7712°N, 65.2730°W.
Barrieau rests quietly upon the firm, modest elevations of Kent, defined by the persistent presence of The Horseback. It lies 29.8 km south-south-east of Miramichi, NB (from Miramichi, NB: bearing 150°T), and is situated 4.7 km north of Acadieville. The light at dusk here possesses a peculiar clarity, catching the edges of the forest and casting long, steady shadows across the fields that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. The landscape remains anchored by these geological features, standing apart from the Kouchibouguac River which flows through the deeper valleys some 6 km away. Beyond the immediate terrain, the expanse stretches toward the stillness of Round Lake, located about 10 km distant, and further still to the protected reaches of Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac, which lies about 25 km from the center of the land. The history of Barrieau reflects the steady, hardworking character of those who first cleared the timber to establish homes on this uneven ground. Agriculture and woodlot management have long provided the primary pulse of the local economy, keeping the inhabitants attuned to the seasonal shifts in weather and the slow growth of the timber. Life in Barrieau maintains a quiet independence, where the morning air often carries the sharp, clean scent of pine and damp earth, signaling the start of a day governed by the demands of the land rather than the clock. This focus on the immediate surroundings preserves a sense of continuity, ensuring that the habits of the past remain visible in the way the land is tended and the way the days are measured.
Barrieau s’étend sur les terres basses du comté de Kent, là où le sol semble retenir la mémoire des défrichements anciens et le souffle constant venu du golfe. Le relief se dessine avec une discrétion toute acadienne, s’inclinant doucement vers les méandres de la rivière Kouchibouguac qui serpente à six kilomètres de distance, apportant une fraîcheur humide aux soirées d’été. À proximité de l’élévation connue sous le nom de The Horseback, le terrain offre une perspective dégagée sur un horizon où la lumière du crépuscule s’étire en teintes cuivrées. Dans ce secteur, la vie s’organise selon le rythme des travaux agricoles et le calme des forêts environnantes. Vers le nord, les eaux calmes du lac Round marquent une limite naturelle, tandis que l’immensité sauvage du Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac, situé à vingt-cinq kilomètres, rappelle la proximité des côtes protégées. Les résidents de Barrieau entretiennent une relation de familiarité avec cette géographie faite de terre ferme et de passages d’eau, où chaque chemin de campagne semble porter en lui une forme de persistance silencieuse. L’air y possède une texture particulière, chargée du parfum des résineux et de l’humidité des terres basses, créant une atmosphère singulière qui définit l’identité même de ce coin de pays.

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 Barrieau 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.
