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 Cains Point.
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.

Cains Point is a locality in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cains Point is located at 47.3434°N, 65.1035°W.
Cains Point clings to the edge of the Atlantic coast, where the firmament meets a salt-sprayed horizon. It lies 6.5 km west-north-west of Alnwick, NB (from Alnwick, NB: bearing 282°T), and is situated 11.2 km north of Neguac. The land here rises toward the South Tabusintac Hill, a rise of earth that marks the transition from the marshy lowlands to the more stubborn, wind-bent timber of the coast. At dusk, the light loses its sharp clarity, turning the water into a sheet of hammered pewter that seems to hold the day’s heat long after the sun has slipped away. The Tabusintac River flows six kilometers distant, its presence felt in the brackish shift of the air and the way the tide dictates the quiet business of the shoreline. Cains Point exists in a state of constant negotiation with the sea, a place where the salt air crusts on the windowpanes and the terrain remains defined by the persistent, scouring breath of the northern winds. Generations have anchored their lives to the seasonal migrations of the sea, finding a livelihood in the cold, churning waters that define the regional economy. The history of Cains Point persists in the weathered wood of old sheds and the practiced movements of those who work the gear, marking a life lived in accordance with the tides rather than the clock. There is a particular, hollow silence that settles over the coast during the off-season, a stillness that emphasizes the isolation of the point. Every morning, the movement of the tide brings a freshness to the shore, a physical reminder that life here depends on the relentless, churning cycle of the Atlantic.
Cains Point s'avance avec une humilité tranquille dans les eaux salées de la côte atlantique, là où le ciel bas semble vouloir toucher les hautes herbes balayées par les vents marins. À proximité, la masse imposante de la colline South Tabusintac domine le relief, offrant un rempart naturel contre les tempêtes qui remontent l'horizon. L'air y possède une texture singulière, chargée d'iode et de cette fraîcheur persistante qui définit les terres du Nouveau-Brunswick. À six kilomètres de distance, la rivière Tabusintac poursuit son cheminement lent vers l'estuaire, dictant par ses courants le rythme des marées qui façonnent quotidiennement le littoral. Les habitants de Cains Point cultivent depuis longtemps une existence tournée vers la mer, puisant dans ces eaux froides une subsistance fragile, tandis que le paysage change de teinte sous une lumière crépusculaire qui semble suspendre le temps. Ici, les maisons tournées vers le large observent le mouvement incessant de l'écume, et le silence des terres intérieures se marie aux cris des oiseaux marins. Cette géographie austère, marquée par la présence constante de la colline South Tabusintac et le voisinage de la rivière Tabusintac, dessine un cadre où la rudesse de la nature impose un respect silencieux, laissant les hommes vivre en harmonie avec les caprices de l'Atlantique.

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 Cains Point 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.
