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 Centre Napan.
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.

Centre Napan is a locality in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Centre Napan is located at 47.0169°N, 65.3986°W.
Centre Napan sits as a quiet sentinel along the Atlantic coast, where the air holds the sharp, salt-edged clarity of the northern tides. It lies 5.3 km east-north-east of Miramichi, NB (from Miramichi, NB: bearing 75°T), and is situated 5.3 km east-south-east of Chatham. The landscape here is defined by the proximity of Ashton Hill, which rises with a steady, grounding presence against the horizon, anchoring the wide sky that stretches over the low-lying terrain. As evening approaches, the light thins into a pale, translucent gold, casting long shadows across the fields that seem to hold the warmth of the sun even as the maritime chill begins to deepen. The Miramichi River flows with a persistent, steady pulse about 6 km away, while the still waters of Chatham Lake lie tucked into the landscape roughly 4 km from the heart of the settlement, reflecting the shifting moods of the clouds. History in Centre Napan has been shaped by the persistent work of those who cultivated the soil and looked to the sea for their livelihood, maintaining a connection to the land that is both practical and deeply ingrained. The economy remains rooted in the traditional industries of agriculture and forestry, reflecting a way of life that values the tangible results of a day’s labor over the frantic pace of larger centers. While the sprawling expanse of Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac sits about 37 km away, Centre Napan itself offers a more intimate scale, where the silence is punctuated only by the seasonal movements of birds or the distant, rhythmic hum of local machinery. Life here moves with a deliberate gravity, defined by a steadfast commitment to the rhythms of the seasons and the enduring character of a region that asks little but offers a profound, steady sense of belonging.
Centre Napan s’étend avec une discrétion minérale sur la côte atlantique, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de se laisser submerger par les marées. Dominé par la présence proche de la colline Ashton, le relief bas et linéaire de Centre Napan s’ouvre sur un ciel vaste qui change de teinte avec une lenteur solennelle, passant du gris perle au violet profond lorsque le jour décline. À une distance de six kilomètres, la rivière Miramichi charrie ses eaux chargées d’histoire et de sédiments, tandis que le lac Chatham, situé à quatre kilomètres, offre un miroir calme aux pins qui bordent ses rives. L’air marin, imprégné de sel et de sève, façonne le quotidien des habitants dont les activités demeurent liées à la rigueur du sol et aux caprices du littoral. Le paysage, marqué par une rudesse apaisante, semble se prolonger vers le nord en direction du Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac, situé à trente-sept kilomètres, où la nature sauvage reprend ses droits. Ici, l’économie locale s’est construite sur une patience héritée des anciennes pratiques agricoles et des métiers de l’eau, créant une identité qui se transmet par le geste plutôt que par le verbe, dans un silence empreint de la force tranquille propre aux terres du Nouveau-Brunswick.

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.
