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 Cardigan.
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.

Cardigan is a locality in York, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cardigan is located at 46.1472°N, 66.7847°W.
Cardigan rests as a quiet crown upon the rise of the Crow Hill, where the earth holds the weight of the sky in a heavy, expectant stillness. It lies 15.5 km south-south-west of Nashwaak, NB (from Nashwaak, NB: bearing 192°T), and is situated 11.8 km north-east of Burtts Corner. The air here possesses a crisp, sharpened clarity, cooling as it settles over the land toward Thomas Lake, which sits three kilometers away as a dark, reflective eye amidst the timber. Beyond the immediate rise, the landscape stretches toward the Tay River, flowing nine kilometers distant, while Dunbar Falls churns twelve kilometers away, its voice a distant, low-frequency hum that barely grazes the silence of the woods. Mactaquac Provincial Park occupies the horizon twenty-two kilometers out, anchoring the wider expanse of the terrain in a broad, green permanence. At dusk, the light catches the incline of the hills, turning the fields into bruised copper and deep violet, a fleeting beauty that arrives just before the shadows reclaim the slope. Cardigan emerged from the rugged persistence of those who cleared the timber and broke the stubborn ground to establish a life in the York interior. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the land, rooted in the seasonal cycles of the forest and the steady, unsung labor of the woodlots. Life in Cardigan moves with the deliberate weight of hands calloused by work, valuing the endurance of a hearth fire and the reliability of a neighbor’s gate. While the broader world shifts with frantic energy, the spirit of Cardigan stays anchored to the turning of the seasons, finding its measure in the length of the shadows and the scent of damp pine needles after a heavy rain.
Cardigan s’éveille sous une lumière oblique, celle qui glisse sur les pentes de la colline Crow pour révéler la texture brute d’une terre travaillée par les générations. À quelques kilomètres, le lac Thomas retient le silence matinal dans ses eaux calmes, tandis que le courant de la rivière Tay, plus lointain, accompagne le rythme lent de la vie rurale. Le paysage, marqué par la rigueur du climat et la générosité des terres fertiles, dessine un horizon où la forêt semble respirer avec les habitants. Les travaux des champs et le bois qui réchauffe les foyers rappellent une occupation ancienne, façonnée par les besoins simples de ceux qui ont défriché ce sol rocailleux. À mesure que le jour décline, une fraîcheur soudaine descend des hauteurs, portée par l'air qui circule vers les chutes Dunbar ou vers l'étendue boisée du parc provincial Mactaquac. Cardigan préserve ce caractère discret, une persévérance silencieuse dans le mouvement des heures. Les gestes quotidiens se succèdent sans hâte, portés par une mémoire collective qui se lit dans les chemins de terre et la structure des bâtisses. Dans cette étendue du Nouveau-Brunswick, la nature impose sa présence et dicte une cadence que Cardigan suit avec une fidélité inébranlable.

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 Cardigan 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.
