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 River Cove.
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 River Cove is a locality in Restigouche, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Eel River Cove is located at 48.0098°N, 66.3884°W.
Eel River Cove occupies a quiet edge of the Atlantic coast where the land yields slowly to the salt-heavy air. It lies 2.7 km east-south-east of Bois-Joli, NB (from Bois-Joli, NB: bearing 109°T), and is situated 6.3 km south of Baie-des-Hérons. The tides push against the mouth of the Eel River, bringing a chill that lingers even when the summer sun brightens the slopes near Convent Hill. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the landscape holds its own austere beauty, with the distant presence of Parc national de Miguasha marking the horizon some 11 km away. The air here carries a sharp, brine-washed clarity, and at dusk, the water takes on the deep, bruised color of slate. One might look toward Henry Lake, 7 km distant, or imagine the hidden weight of McKinnon Falls, 16 km inland, yet the gravity of the cove remains focused on the meeting of river and sea. Life in Eel River Cove persists through the seasonal pulse of the water, a habit of existence shaped by the currents and the cold. Families have long looked to the sea for their livelihood, mirroring a history that values the endurance of those who work the tides. The pace of the day is set by the arrival of the fog and the shifting light, rather than the clock, creating a stillness that settles over the houses. There is a particular honesty in the way the local economy remains anchored to these coastal realities, where the tradition of the harvest—whether from the nets or the soil—defines the character of the people. This is a place that asks for little, offering in return a stark, unadorned peace to those who keep watch over the shore.
Eel River Cove s’étire le long des rives de la rivière Eel, là où l’air salin de la côte atlantique vient caresser la terre avec une insistance mélancolique. Dominé par la silhouette tranquille de la colline Convent, le terrain déploie une géographie où chaque marée semble redessiner les contours de l’existence humaine. À proximité, le souvenir des chutes McKinnon murmure dans le lointain, tandis que la présence du lac Henry, situé à quelques lieues, apporte une fraîcheur constante à ce relief façonné par les vents maritimes. Les habitants, héritiers d’une longue patience, observent le passage des jours avec une sagesse héritée de leurs ancêtres, entre le travail acharné et la contemplation des horizons changeants. Non loin, le Parc national de Miguasha rappelle la profondeur géologique de cette région de Restigouche, offrant un contraste saisissant entre la pérennité des strates anciennes et l’éphémère beauté d’un crépuscule qui s'attarde sur les eaux. Eel River Cove conserve ainsi une essence singulière, portée par le rythme des saisons qui s'imposent à la vie locale, transformant les tâches quotidiennes en une forme de poésie discrète. Ici, la terre et l'eau s'accordent dans une harmonie silencieuse, invitant à une lecture attentive des paysages qui se déploient sans artifice sous le ciel vaste du Nouveau-Brunswick.

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 River Cove 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.
