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 Douglastown.
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.

Douglastown is a urban community in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Douglastown is located at 47.0288°N, 65.4939°W.
Douglastown occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises to meet the Ashton Hill, looking out over the persistent, dark currents of the Miramichi River. It lies 3.4 km north-west of Miramichi, NB (from Miramichi, NB: bearing 323°T), and is situated 12.4 km north-east of Eel Ground. The air here holds a particular weight, often cooling quickly as the light fades and the shadows of the rising terrain stretch toward the water. Only two kilometres away, the Chatham Reservoir sits as a still, reflective presence in the landscape, a stark contrast to the moving river nearby. Life in Douglastown moves with the seasonal shifts of the northern climate, where the transition from the biting cold of winter to the sudden, lush green of spring defines the passage of the year. The history of Douglastown is deeply tied to the industrial currents that once powered the region, drawing strength from the timber and maritime trades that flourished along the Miramichi River. While the clamour of early mills has long since hushed, the legacy of that labour persists in the way the land is arranged and the practical, grounded nature of those who reside here. Douglastown remains a place of steady persistence, where the architecture of the older homes and the layout of the streets suggest a long-standing familiarity with the demands of the North. Local traditions are marked by the simple, enduring habits of people who understand the temperament of the water and the quiet authority of the hills. Even now, the economy reflects a transition from those foundational industries to modern services, yet the character of the settlement stays rooted in the physical reality of the riverbanks and the surrounding slopes.
Douglastown s'étire avec une patience tranquille le long des rives de la rivière Miramichi, là où le relief s'incline doucement vers les eaux sombres et nourricières. Dominé par la silhouette imposante de la colline Ashton, le panorama se déploie dans une lumière dorée qui semble stagner sur les terres basses lorsque le crépuscule s'installe. À quelques encablures, le Chatham Reservoir veille sur le calme ambiant, ajoutant une profondeur minérale à cet horizon où le vent apporte souvent le souffle frais des marées montantes. L'histoire de Douglastown se devine dans la persistance des structures anciennes et dans l'économie de gestes de ceux qui habitent ces parages, perpétuant une relation directe avec les ressources que la terre et le courant offrent avec parcimonie. L'air y possède une texture dense, chargée d'humidité et de sel, rappelant sans cesse la proximité de l'estuaire. Les habitants observent le passage des saisons en scrutant les variations de la rivière Miramichi, dont le débit rythme les existences depuis longtemps. Entre la rigueur des pentes de la colline Ashton et le silence du Chatham Reservoir, la vie décline ici une simplicité austère, nourrie par une mémoire collective qui préfère l'immobilité des collines à l'agitation des cités lointaines.

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 Douglastown 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.
