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 Chelmsford.
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.

Chelmsford is a locality in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Chelmsford is located at 46.8889°N, 65.6408°W.
Chelmsford rests with a quiet permanence near the rising contours of Campbelltown Hill. It lies 18.4 km south-west of Miramichi, NB (from Miramichi, NB: bearing 226°T), and is situated 8.5 km south of Eel Ground. The landscape here is defined by the persistent presence of the Southwest Miramichi River, which draws a dark, liquid ribbon through the terrain, reflecting the heavy clouds and the changing temper of the northern sky. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the water with a silver tension, while seven kilometers away, the stillness of Crocker Lake holds the silence of the surrounding woods. The air carries a crisp, pine-scented weight, a reminder that the wild growth of the inland forest is never far from the edges of the clearing. The history of Chelmsford aligns with the broader cycles of resource extraction and the steady, demanding labor of the woods. Families here have long found their footing through the harvest of the timberlands, a tradition that shapes the seasonal pulse of the local economy. Beyond the mechanical hum of industry, the life of Chelmsford persists through the resilience of those who know how to navigate the geography of the river valley. When the seasons turn, the residents maintain a particular alertness to the environment, observing the shifting ice on the Southwest Miramichi River or the subtle migrations of the forest, ensuring that the character of the settlement remains as durable as the stone of Campbelltown Hill.
Chelmsford s’étire avec une discrétion presque minérale sur les terres fertiles de Northumberland, où la lumière du soir semble s’attarder sur les pentes douces de la colline Campbelltown. Le regard suit naturellement le tracé sinueux de la rivière Southwest Miramichi, dont le courant régulier forge depuis longtemps le rythme des journées et la patience des habitants. À sept kilomètres de distance, le lac Crocker repose dans un silence immuable, offrant aux environs une fraîcheur qui imprègne l’air dès que le soleil décline derrière les arbres. La vie quotidienne à Chelmsford se déploie dans une simplicité héritée des travailleurs de la terre et des forestiers, dont les gestes répétés ont façonné la topographie modeste mais tenace de ces espaces. Ici, les traditions se transmettent moins par les discours que par l’entretien des routes et le soin porté aux récoltes, dans une zone où le climat dicte une rigueur respectée par tous. Les ombres s'allongent sur le sol, soulignant la texture des terrains agricoles qui bordent les berges, tandis que l'horizon demeure ouvert sur une étendue calme. Chaque changement de clarté révèle la permanence de ce cadre naturel, invitant à une forme de contemplation sobre dans cet espace de Northumberland que le temps semble habiter sans jamais le brusquer.
