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 Eel Ground.
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.

Eel Ground is a locality in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a town. Eel Ground is located at 46.9654°N, 65.6288°W.
Eel Ground rests as a quiet presence near the Ashton Hill, anchored by the dark, persistent currents of the Southwest Miramichi River. It lies 13.0 km west-south-west of Miramichi, NB (from Miramichi, NB: bearing 251°T), and is situated 6.9 km north of Millerton. The air here holds a particular clarity, often catching a soft, amber light at dusk that turns the river surface into burnished copper. Beyond the immediate banks, the landscape stretches toward the distant, hidden reaches of Crocker Lake and Estey Falls, marking a terrain defined by the slow endurance of water and stone. Eel Ground serves as a vital centre for the Mi’kmaq people, carrying a deep, ancestral connection to the land that persists through generations of stewardship and cultural practice. The local economy and daily life move with the seasons, reflecting a resilience that honors traditional knowledge while engaging with the broader regional identity of Northumberland. Whether observing the early morning mist rising off the Southwest Miramichi River or participating in community gatherings that celebrate enduring heritage, Eel Ground maintains a distinct character. The quietude of the surroundings near the Ashton Hill offers a space where history remains present, felt in the deliberate pace of work and the shared responsibility of maintaining a home that has known human footsteps for a very long time.
Eel Ground s’étire avec une patience millénaire le long des rives de la rivière Southwest Miramichi, là où le courant semble retenir son souffle avant de poursuivre sa course vers l’estuaire. À l'horizon, la silhouette paisible de la colline Ashton surveille les terres, offrant un contraste solide face à l'immensité changeante du ciel. Les résidents d'Eel Ground vivent dans une proximité intime avec ce relief, héritiers d'une présence autochtone qui a su lire, bien avant les autres, les signes invisibles de la terre et de l'eau. À quelques lieues, le lac Crocker repose dans un silence forestier, tandis que le fracas lointain des chutes Estey ponctue le territoire d'une note sauvage et constante. L'air y possède une texture particulière, chargée de l'humidité des bois et de cette fraîcheur qui précède le crépuscule, transformant les ombres en de longues traînées bleutées sur le sol. Ici, le quotidien ne cherche pas le bruit ; il se construit dans la répétition des gestes simples, une manière de célébrer l'appartenance à un sol qui ne demande rien d'autre que le respect de sa propre mesure. Chaque détour de chemin rappelle que l'existence se déploie dans une relation directe avec les éléments, un lien que la modernité n'a jamais pu effilocher.

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 Eel Ground 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.
