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 Dorchester.
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.

Dorchester is a urban community in Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a town. Dorchester is located at 45.8993°N, 64.5166°W.
Dorchester sits upon a rise of land that overlooks the Atlantic coast, cradled by the quiet strength of the Coppermine Hill. It lies 10.3 km west-south-west of Sackville, NB (from Sackville, NB: bearing 258°T), and is situated 11.0 km east-south-east of Fundy Albert. The Memramcook River traces a dark, tidal path through the lowlands near Dorchester, its waters rising and falling with a heavy, rhythmic pulse that defines the local horizon. Light often catches the silt-laden currents at dusk, turning the surface into a sheet of hammered pewter that reflects the shifting clouds. Beyond the immediate slopes, the landscape holds a stillness that reaches toward Johnson Lake, situated some distance away, where the air grows cooler and the woods tighten their grip on the earth. History clings to the architecture of Dorchester, where grand, sturdy structures reflect a past anchored in early maritime industry and administrative importance. Residents navigate a landscape where the remnants of stone-cutting and agricultural roots persist, maintaining a character defined by perseverance rather than haste. The influence of the tides dictates the mood of the mornings, and the weight of the surrounding terrain ensures that Dorchester retains a distinct, solitary presence. Visitors and locals alike find that the wind coming off the coast carries a sharp, clean clarity, grounding the daily experience in the elemental reality of the salt-tide and the hill.
Dorchester s’élève avec une dignité austère sur les hauteurs de la colline Coppermine, là où les vents marins de la côte atlantique viennent sculpter les façades de pierre et les toitures anciennes. Le regard embrasse les méandres de la rivière Memramcook, dont les eaux, soumises au souffle des marées, déploient une soie sombre et changeante sous la lumière oblique du déclin du jour. Loin derrière les terres cultivées, le lac Johnson repose dans un silence minéral, complétant ce relief façonné par une histoire de labeur et de persévérance. Dorchester conserve dans ses demeures de bois et ses édifices de grès le souvenir d'une époque où l'industrie et la construction navale animaient les quais. L'air y possède une texture dense, chargée d'embruns et de cette humidité salée propre aux estuaires, tandis que le rythme des journées suit une cadence lente, presque suspendue, dictée par la montée des eaux et le passage des nuages au-dessus des terres de Westmorland. Chaque sentier qui serpente entre la colline Coppermine et les rives de la rivière Memramcook semble murmurer des récits oubliés, invitant le promeneur à saisir l'âme singulière de ces paysages où la terre rencontre, avec une rigueur sauvage, l'immensité de l'océan.

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 Dorchester 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.
