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 Browns Yard.
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.

Browns Yard is a locality in Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Browns Yard is located at 46.5208°N, 65.0732°W.
Browns Yard exists as a quiet confluence of woodland and water, nestled low where the land folds toward the Coal Branch River. It lies 22.9 km south-west of Beaurivage, NB (from Beaurivage, NB: bearing 223°T), and is situated 9.8 km south-west of Big Cove. The reach of the Coal Branch River defines the pace of life here, moving with a dark, steady persistence that mirrors the shadows cast by the nearby Duffs Hill. As the sun dips behind the rise of the land, the light flattens into a pale, bruised gold, illuminating the dense spruce and fir that hold the silence of the valley. While Kent Lake sits thirteen kilometers away, the local horizon feels contained by the immediate presence of the trees and the riverbanks. The air carries a heavy, damp musk, the scent of cedar and wet stone that lingers long after the mist rises from the water. The history of Browns Yard is anchored in the timber and the seasonal shifts of the forest, an economy once driven by the harvest of the woods that surround the Duffs Hill. Men who worked these stands of timber knew the river as their primary path, and the legacy of that labor persists in the quiet, methodical way tasks are performed today. Though the distance to Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac is thirty-eight kilometers, the wild, untamed character of the province finds its way into the local temperament, favoring solitude over bustle. Life in Browns Yard follows the turning of the seasons, where the winter frost hardens the mud tracks and the spring thaw wakes the Coal Branch River into a restless, swirling rush.
Browns Yard s’étend avec une discrétion minérale le long des méandres de la rivière Coal Branch, là où le terrain s’incline doucement vers les hauteurs de la colline Duffs. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les terres agricoles, révélant une topographie que les anciens ont domestiquée par le travail du bois et la patience des labours. À une distance de treize kilomètres, le lac Kent semble retenir le souffle de la forêt, tandis que les vastes étendues du Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac, situé à trente-huit kilomètres, imprègnent l’horizon d’une respiration sauvage et saline. Dans cette contrée où le patrimoine acadien imprègne chaque rang, Browns Yard maintient un rythme lent, calé sur le passage des eaux et la fermeté du sol. Les ombres s’allongent sur les chemins, soulignant la texture rugueuse des écorces et le silence qui habite les clairières entre deux passages de vents venus de la côte. Ici, l’existence se déploie sans artifice, les gestes des habitants s’accordant à la permanence des éléments géographiques qui dictent, depuis des décennies, la manière d’habiter ce territoire résolument tourné vers la terre et les courants fluviaux.

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 Browns Yard 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.
