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 Big Cove.
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.

Big Cove is a locality in Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a town. Big Cove is located at 46.5855°N, 64.9857°W.
Big Cove rests along the quiet, steady currents of the Molus River, shadowed by the rising slopes of the Galloway Hill. It lies 13.1 km south-west of Beaurivage, NB (from Beaurivage, NB: bearing 223°T), and is situated 11.1 km south-west of Five Rivers. The terrain here holds a particular stillness, where the dense, dark woods meet the moisture of the riverbank, and the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of hammered pewter. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises with a modest, deliberate weight, suggesting a landscape that has long been shaped by the slow movement of the Molus River against the earth. A traveler might feel the sudden, cool breath of the valley rising to meet them, a sensation that clings to the air long after the sun has dipped below the Galloway Hill. The history of Big Cove remains deeply rooted in the stewardship of the Mi’kmaq people, whose presence along the Molus River defines the cultural and spiritual character of the land. Life in Big Cove moves with a focus on the seasonal cycles of the river, where the legacy of traditional practices continues to inform the daily habits of the people. While the wider region includes the distant stretches of Geddes Lake and the protected expanses of Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac, the focus here stays close to the river’s edge. Even as modern demands shift the local economy, the people of Big Cove maintain a quiet, persistent connection to the water, where the call of a bird echoing off the valley walls often provides the only interruption to the afternoon.
Big Cove s’étire avec une patience minérale le long des rives sinueuses de la rivière Molus, là où le souffle salin de la marée rencontre la terre ferme. À proximité de la colline Galloway, le relief s’incline doucement, offrant une perspective où le ciel bas s'unit aux basses terres de la région de Kent. Le regard se perd vers le lac Geddes, distant de quelques lieues, tandis que le Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac impose sa présence sauvage à trente kilomètres de là, rappelant la puissance intacte de la nature environnante. Dans le silence de Big Cove, les traditions autochtones persistent, portées par les chants anciens et la sagesse transmise qui façonnent l'identité des résidents. Les habitations se groupent, humbles, tandis que la lumière déclinante du crépuscule dore les herbes hautes et les replis de la rivière Molus, révélant une beauté austère. L’existence s’y égrène au rythme du bois, de la terre et des eaux, loin des agitations du monde moderne, dans une atmosphère où chaque geste quotidien se lie à la mémoire du sol. Ici, le paysage ne se donne pas d’emblée, il se mérite par la contemplation lente d'un horizon sans fin, préservé par la constance de ceux qui habitent ces terres depuis des générations.

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 Big Cove 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.
