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 Canal.
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.

Canal is a locality in Charlotte, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Canal is located at 45.1584°N, 66.8268°W.
Canal rests upon the Atlantic coast, cradled by the slopes of Poorhouse Hill where the salt-heavy air meets the steady, dark current of the Magaguadavic River. It lies 3.1 km north of Eastern Charlotte, NB (from Eastern Charlotte, NB: bearing 353°T), and is situated 11.5 km north-north-west of Blacks Harbour. The land here holds a quiet intensity, with the terrain rising sharply from the water’s edge to offer a vantage point over the bay, where the light at dusk turns the surface of the river into a sheet of hammered pewter. Otter Lake waits just two kilometers away, its stillness a stark contrast to the tidal push of the coast, while the distant, rushing sound of First Falls marks the movement of the river further inland. The landscape carries a persistent dampness, a cold mineral weight that clings to the spruce and fir, defining the physical character of Canal as much as the tides do. The history of Canal draws its strength from the resourcefulness required to survive along the rugged Magaguadavic River, where the economy has long leaned into the rhythms of the woods and the harvest of the sea. Nearby, the Réserve de la faune Utopia serves as a reminder of the vast, untamed reaches that define this part of the coast, providing a buffer between the local settlements and the deeper interior. Daily life in Canal moves with a measured purpose, observed in the way residents navigate the steep climbs of Poorhouse Hill or tend to the equipment that keeps them connected to the water. There is a particular clarity to the mornings here, when the fog lifts to reveal the raw, honest texture of the shoreline, revealing a place that asks for little but expects a great deal of endurance from those who choose to call it home.
Canal s'étire avec une langueur mélancolique sur la côte atlantique, là où la brise marine vient lécher les contours de la colline Poorhouse. Les eaux de la rivière Magaguadavic serpentent avec une constance souveraine, charriant dans leur sillage le souvenir des exploitations forestières qui ont façonné le destin laborieux de ces terres. À l'approche du crépuscule, la lumière se fragmente sur les reliefs environnants, révélant la proximité sauvage du lac Otter qui dort, immobile, à seulement deux kilomètres. Plus loin, le fracas lointain des chutes First rappelle la vigueur indomptée des courants, tandis que le silence protecteur de la Réserve de la faune Utopia veille sur les franges de ce territoire. Canal conserve dans ses chemins de terre et ses horizons dégagés une sobriété typique des zones où la terre rencontre l'océan, offrant une quiétude que seul le passage des marées vient troubler. Le quotidien ici se mesure à l'aune des éléments, dans un équilibre précaire entre l'héritage des pionniers et le murmure persistant du vent du large qui s'engouffre dans la vallée. La rudesse du climat forge une identité résiliente, faisant de chaque jour une succession de gestes simples sous un ciel changeant.

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 Canal 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.
