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 Bass River.
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.

Bass River is a locality in Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a town. Bass River is located at 46.5442°N, 65.1135°W.
Bass River rests quietly near the Duffs Hill, defined by the persistent, dark currents of the Richibucto River. It lies 23.5 km south-west of Beaurivage, NB (from Beaurivage, NB: bearing 233°T), and is situated 10.8 km west-south-west of Big Cove. The landscape here holds the stillness of the lowlands, where the earth seems to exhale in the cooling light of dusk, casting long, bruised shadows across the damp banks. Within this quiet expanse, Kent Lake lies ten kilometers away, a hidden mirror reflecting the heavy, humid air of the surrounding woods. Farther off, the expanse of Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac stretches thirty-six kilometers distant, marking the edge of a wider, salt-touched wilderness that dictates the character of the horizon. Life in Bass River follows the slow pulse of the water, a tradition shaped by the necessities of the forest and the riverbank. The economy has long drawn its strength from the land, moving with the quiet diligence of those who understand the temper of the seasons. While the modern world moves with a different velocity, Bass River maintains a deliberate focus, valuing the substance of the harvest and the timber pulled from the nearby slopes. The atmosphere here is thick with the scent of spruce and wet stone, a sensory memory that lingers in the minds of those who pass through, grounding them in a reality that asks for nothing more than observation and respect.
Bass River s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives de la rivière Richibucto, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant que le jour ne décline. À proximité, la silhouette discrète de la colline Duffs veille sur les terres basses, offrant un repère immuable à ceux qui parcourent ce paysage façonné par le labeur et la patience des générations. L'air y possède une texture particulière, une fraîcheur humide qui remonte du courant, portant en elle le sillage des marées et le souvenir des travaux champêtres. Bien que le lac Kent se trouve à une dizaine de kilomètres, le rythme de Bass River demeure intimement lié aux eaux de la rivière, dont le mouvement lent dicte une cadence apaisée. Les habitants habitués aux vastes horizons reconnaissent ici une étendue familière, une géographie qui ne cherche jamais à s'imposer, mais qui offre plutôt une profondeur singulière à chaque crépuscule. À une trentaine de kilomètres, le Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac rappelle la rigueur et la splendeur sauvage de cette côte, pourtant c'est dans la simplicité des maisons et des champs bordant la rivière Richibucto que se révèle véritablement l'identité de ce coin de pays. Ici, le ciel se marie aux terres fertiles, et le temps se mesure moins par les heures que par la lumière changeante qui glisse sur les pentes douces et les rives silencieuses.

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 Bass River 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.
