Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Dalhousie.
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.

Dalhousie is a urban community in Restigouche, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Dalhousie is located at 48.0486°N, 66.3903°W.
Dalhousie occupies a singular position on the Atlantic coast, perched within the elevated rise of Convent Hill where the land meets the cold, salt-heavy breath of the sea. It lies 2.2 km south-south-west of Baie-des-Hérons, NB (from Baie-des-Hérons, NB: bearing 209°T), and is situated 4.2 km north-east of Bois-Joli. The horizon here holds a distinct clarity, particularly at dusk when the fading light pulls the sharpness from the shoreline and leaves only the dark, cooling water of the Eel River to hold the sky’s reflection. Dalhousie is situated in a landscape where the terrain feels ancient and deliberate, with the nearby Parc national de Miguasha lying just 7 km away, while the distant, rushing presence of Chutes de Brébeuf remains 18 km out, and the tidal reaches of the Bassin de la Rivière Nouvelle rest roughly 10 km from the town’s edge. The history of Dalhousie reflects a deep reliance on the natural bounty of the northern coast, where the economy has long turned on the movement of timber and the extraction of resources from the surrounding wilderness. Industrial piers once defined the silhouette of the waterfront, marking a time when the pulse of the local economy beat in sync with the heavy machinery of pulp and paper production. These mills, which anchored the livelihoods of generations, shaped the daily work of the people who navigated the steep streets of Convent Hill. Even now, the air carries a faint, lingering memory of cedar and spruce, a reminder of the raw materials that flowed through these docks to sustain the region. Cultural life in Dalhousie is defined by a quiet, resilient endurance, mirroring the rugged nature of the Atlantic coastline that frames the town. Traditions here are kept close, passed through families who have watched the seasons transition across the Eel River for generations, finding beauty in the stark, bracing winters and the brief, brilliant summers. While the town does not boast a surplus of grand monuments, the true landmark is the character of the place itself—a stoic, coastal sensibility that values the steady, predictable turning of the tides. Residents move through their days with a pragmatic grace, finding comfort in the familiar geography that surrounds them, a landscape that remains indifferent to the passing of years but deeply meaningful to those who call it home.
Dalhousie se déploie sur la côte atlantique, là où la lumière déclinante du soir enveloppe la colline Convent d’une clarté presque irréelle. Les marées viennent lécher les rives de la rivière Eel, murmurant des récits anciens à ceux qui arpentent ces terres marquées par une rude industrie et un labeur acharné. À quelques kilomètres seulement, le bassin de la Rivière Nouvelle dessine une géographie paisible, tandis que les chutes de Brébeuf offrent leur chant monotone aux vents marins qui balaient le rivage. Non loin, le parc national de Miguasha garde les secrets enfouis dans la pierre, rappelant la profondeur du temps qui façonne le caractère des gens d’ici. Dalhousie porte en elle le sel de l’Atlantique et la fierté d’un peuple qui a su bâtir sa vie sur les caprices des courants et la patience des saisons froides. Les façades des maisons, tournées vers l’immensité bleue, semblent attendre un retour, une promesse faite aux ancêtres dont les gestes résonnent encore dans l’air vif. Dans ce paysage où la terre rencontre l'eau, chaque habitant reconnaît la rudesse et la beauté de son horizon, une permanence humble qui défie l'usure des jours et le fracas des vagues.

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 Dalhousie 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.
