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 Burton.
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.

Burton is a locality in Sunbury, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Burton is located at 45.8615°N, 66.4486°W.
Burton rests along the expansive, slow-moving currents of the Saint John River, where the earth yields to the quiet authority of the water. It lies 2.3 km north-east of Oromocto, NB (from Oromocto, NB: bearing 48°T), and is situated 4.6 km north-east of Sunbury-York South. The horizon is defined by the silhouette of the Oak Point Ridge, which rises with a steady, watchful presence over the low-lying fields. Here, the light of late afternoon clings to the tall grasses near the banks, turning the air a pale, liquid gold before the shadows of the ridge stretch across the basin. Rush Lake, tucked away just two kilometers from the heart of the settlement, acts as a reflective mirror for the shifting clouds, grounding the landscape in a stillness that feels both ancient and immediate. The history of Burton remains deeply connected to the fertile silt deposited by the river, a foundation that once supported a robust agricultural life and continues to inform the character of the land today. Residents often look toward the Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area, situated ten kilometers away, as a reminder of the wild, untamed corridors that flank the human presence in this valley. Life in Burton moves with a deliberate intention, balanced between the necessities of a modern economy and the persistent, seasonal demands of the river valley. The people here maintain a quiet stewardship over their surroundings, finding a particular beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the meadows, obscuring the boundary between the water and the shore.
Burton s'étend avec une humilité tranquille le long des rives de la rivière Saint John, là où la lumière du soir semble s'attarder sur les terres basses pour mieux souligner le relief de la crête Oak Point. Dans cette étendue du Nouveau-Brunswick, le sol garde la mémoire des anciennes exploitations agricoles, façonnant une identité façonnée par les cycles de l'eau et le labeur patient des hommes. À quelques kilomètres, le lac Rush offre un miroir immobile au ciel, tandis que la réserve faunique de Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area préserve une nature sauvage qui respire au rythme des marées fluviales. Burton conserve une allure de quiétude, portée par le vent qui remonte le cours du grand fleuve, transportant avec lui les senteurs d'une terre fertile et les échos d'une histoire forgée par les premiers occupants et les colons venus chercher refuge dans ces vallées fertiles. La présence de la rivière Saint John dicte encore aujourd'hui une cadence lente aux activités quotidiennes, invitant à une contemplation que seul le bruissement des roseaux vient interrompre, créant une harmonie simple entre le minéral des berges et la fluidité 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 Burton 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.
