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 Benton.
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.

Benton is a locality in Carleton, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Benton is located at 45.9871°N, 67.6089°W.
Benton rests quietly within the rising contours of the Inches Ridge, where the persistent current of the Eel River shapes the character of the land. It lies 15.4 km north-west of Lakeland Ridges, NB (from Lakeland Ridges, NB: bearing 313°T), and is situated 15.5 km north-west of Canterbury. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, often catching the amber light of late afternoon as it descends across the slopes. Residents of Benton look toward the surrounding wilderness, where the proximity of Hays Lake and the hidden descent of Hays Falls offer a quiet respite from the demands of the day. Beyond the immediate reach of the ridge, the Réserve de la faune du Club Kindness marks the outer edges of the local horizon, preserving a sense of stillness that defines the regional pace. Life in Benton follows the steady, seasonal shifts of the watershed, where the memory of earlier logging and agrarian industry lingers in the cleared meadows and the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the homes. The weight of the timber trade once drove the local economy, leaving behind a landscape that values resilience and a deep, observant connection to the natural world. On quiet evenings, the sound of the Eel River moving over stone carries a weight of continuity, reminding those who dwell here that Benton remains a place defined by the slow, deliberate work of the water and the earth.
Benton s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les flancs de la crête Inches, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant de plonger vers les eaux de la rivière Eel. Ce terrain accidenté, façonné par les soubresauts du sol et la persistance des racines, dessine un horizon que les résidents habitent avec une patience héritée des anciennes défrichements agricoles. À quelques kilomètres, le lac Hays miroite sous une lumière cuivrée en fin de journée, tandis que le tumulte apaisant des chutes Hays berce les terres environnantes dans un murmure constant. L’air, chargé d’une humidité forestière, porte souvent le souvenir de la Réserve de la faune du Club Kindness, située un peu plus loin, rappelant la proximité sauvage des bois qui encerclent Benton. Ici, les journées suivent le rythme des cycles solaires, marqués par le passage des ombres sur les pentes et la rigueur d’un climat qui exige une présence attentive. L’histoire de Benton se lit dans la simplicité des structures qui bordent la route, dans ces modestes demeures qui font face aux vents dominants, témoignant d’une existence ajustée aux exigences d’un relief qui ne pardonne guère la négligence, mais récompense toujours ceux qui savent lire le langage des vallées et des courants.

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 Benton 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.
