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 Benjamin 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.

Benjamin River is a locality in Restigouche, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Benjamin River is located at 47.9597°N, 66.1650°W.
Benjamin River rests where the land bows toward the Atlantic coast, marked by the persistent, cold clarity of the Benjamin River as it meets the sea. It lies 19.5 km east-south-east of Dalhousie, NB (from Dalhousie, NB: bearing 120°T), and is situated 11.1 km east-south-east of Charlo. The terrain rises steadily toward the shadows of Lavignes Hill, creating a sheltered basin where the air holds a sharp, salt-edged clarity. At dusk, the light lingers against the slopes, turning the water of the Benjamin River into a slate-grey mirror that reflects the quiet transition from day to evening. For those seeking the wider expanse of the backcountry, Windsor Lake sits a short distance away, offering a still counterpoint to the restless movement of the tide. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the geological presence of Parc national de Miguasha commands the horizon, anchoring the visual field with its ancient, layered cliffs that preside over the distant water. Life in Benjamin River follows the seasonal pulse of the coast, where the weight of the sea dictates the motion of the day. The local economy draws its strength from the rhythms of the water, sustained by a long history of maritime resourcefulness that has kept Benjamin River steady through shifting generations. Residents move with a deliberate purpose, familiar with the way the wind shifts off the Atlantic and the particular chill that signals the approach of winter. There is a quiet endurance in the way the houses are positioned to face the currents, maintaining a modest, functional grace that honors the geography. Even as the modern world edges closer, the character of Benjamin River persists in the small, daily habits of those who find beauty in the stark, unyielding edges of the northern coast.
Benjamin River s’étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme dans une familiarité ancienne. La rivière Benjamin serpente avec une lenteur calculée vers l’estuaire, offrant ses eaux aux reflets argentés qui captent la lumière déclinante de la colline Lavignes. À quelques lieues de là, le lac Windsor repose dans une immobilité minérale, tandis que la silhouette lointaine du Parc national de Miguasha rappelle la permanence des reliefs sculptés par les âges. Le paysage ici se définit par une rigueur calme, une simplicité qui dicte le rythme des journées. Les activités qui animent Benjamin River se fondent dans cette géographie côtière, où le travail des hommes a toujours épousé les caprices des marées et la rudesse des vents marins. Entre les terres cultivées et l’immensité de l’horizon, les habitants entretiennent une relation directe, presque charnelle, avec cet espace qui ne demande rien d’autre que d’être contemplé. Chaque maison, chaque sentier qui longe le rivage, raconte une présence patiente face à l’océan, une existence qui puise sa force dans la clarté de l’air et la solidité des sols.

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 Benjamin 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.
