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 Brest.
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.

Brest is a locality in Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Brest is located at 46.4635°N, 65.0032°W.
Brest occupies a quiet, unassuming stretch of terrain defined by the steady rise of Duffs Hill. It lies 20.1 km west of Grand-Bouctouche, NB (from Grand-Bouctouche, NB: bearing 269°T), and is situated 13.6 km south of Big Cove. The landscape here holds a stillness that gathers in the hollows, where the air often tastes of damp moss and the shifting needles of spruce. Eight kilometers away, the Coal Branch River carves a dark, persistent line through the woods, its presence felt in the way the local atmosphere retains a subtle, humid chill even during the height of summer. Further out, Lac de Bon-Secours rests nine kilometers distant, a mirror for the sky that anchors the horizon and dictates the way light fades into a bruised, indigo violet at the end of the day. Brest carries the weight of a history rooted in the hard work of forestry and the slow reclamation of the soil. The economy of Brest remains tied to the timber that stands in dense, disciplined rows, a cycle of harvest and growth that dictates the pace of the year. People here move with a deliberate intent, their lives shaped by the proximity of the woods and the seasonal demands of the land. There is a particular beauty in the way the morning frost clings to the machinery left at the edge of the clearings, a cold, metallic glint that highlights the resilience required to thrive in such a secluded pocket of the province.
Brest déploie ses terres modestes et silencieuses sous une lumière qui semble stagner, figée dans la patience des gens du Kent. À proximité, la colline Duffs dresse ses courbes familières contre un ciel souvent bas, protégeant les esprits qui habitent ici de l’agitation du monde. La rivière Coal Branch serpente à huit kilomètres de là, apportant avec elle une fraîcheur qui imprègne les jardins et les vergers, tandis que le Lac de Bon-Secours, distant de neuf kilomètres, miroite dans une solitude paisible, capturant les derniers reflets dorés du jour. Brest porte en elle la mémoire des défrichements et des familles acadiennes qui ont su dompter ce sol rocailleux, transformant la rudesse des hivers en une force tranquille. L’économie locale, forgée par le travail de la terre et la sylviculture, s’inscrit dans un rythme lent où chaque geste compte, loin des artifices des grands centres. Ici, le vent qui balaie la plaine transporte une odeur de terre humide et de bois résineux, rappelant aux habitants la permanence des choses simples. Dans la quiétude de Brest, la vie suit le mouvement naturel des éléments, une existence modeste et résolue, nichée dans ce relief qui ne demande rien d’autre que le respect de ceux qui y ont bâti leur foyer.

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.
