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 Canton.
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.

Canton is a locality in Victoria, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a town. Canton is located at 47.0611°N, 67.6079°W.
Canton rests within the quiet embrace of the highlands near Klokledahl Hill, where the Salmon River carves a deliberate path through the rugged northern terrain. It lies 9.7 km east of Grand Falls, NB (from Grand Falls, NB: bearing 84°T), and is situated 9.7 km east of Grand-Sault. The landscape surrounding Canton holds a stillness that deepens as the light slants low against the ridges, turning the damp earth and dense timber into shades of deep bronze and bruised violet. During the twilight hours, the air takes on a crisp, sharpened edge, carrying the faint, metallic scent of the Salmon River as it presses onward through the valley floor. The history of Canton moves with the slow, persistent weight of the timber and agricultural cycles that have long defined the life of those living near the slopes of Klokledahl Hill. While Lac à Minet remains a sequestered pocket of reflection about 3 km away and the roar of Grand Falls echoes roughly 10 km to the north, the local economy here maintains a grounded focus on the land and the seasonal shifts of the forest. Life in Canton persists through a steady commitment to the woods and the river, where the daily tasks of maintenance and harvest follow the turning of the sun, leaving the residents to find their own comfort in the predictable, enduring geography of the valley.
Canton s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives de la rivière Salmon, là où le terrain s’incline doucement sous l’ombre protectrice de la colline Klokledahl. Dans cette partie reculée du Nouveau-Brunswick, la lumière du crépuscule dépose une patine dorée sur les terres agricoles, révélant la persévérance de ceux qui ont défriché ces sols fertiles pour y bâtir une existence durable. Les habitants de Canton observent le passage des eaux de la rivière Salmon, un flux constant qui rythme les travaux des champs et le labeur quotidien dans une quiétude préservée. À seulement trois kilomètres, les eaux calmes du Lac à Minet miroitent sous le ciel changeant, tandis qu’à dix kilomètres, le fracas lointain des chutes Grand impose une présence minérale et souveraine au paysage environnant. L'air y est vif, chargé des effluves de la forêt boréale et de la terre humide, rappelant à chaque instant la force des éléments qui façonnent cette contrée. Ici, la vie s'écoule sans artifice, portée par le respect des traditions rurales et une intimité profonde avec la géographie accidentée du secteur, où chaque colline et chaque méandre dessinent les contours d’une identité forgée par le climat rigoureux et la générosité simple des saisons.

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 Canton 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.
