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 Crossing.
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 Crossing rests upon the Atlantic coast, where the land yields to the saltwater air and the quiet presence of the Eel River. The horizon here holds the steady silhouette of Convent Hill, a landmark that watches over the daily movements of those who live in the shadow of its rise. In the stillness of late afternoon, the light turns a thin, bruised gold, catching the surface of the Eel River as it flows toward the sea. Beyond the immediate reach of the dwellings, the landscape stretches toward the wider expanse of the coast, where the distance to Parc national de Miguasha is measured in the salt-heavy wind that carries across the water. Further inland, the terrain holds the quiet persistence of Hicks Lake, while the distant, rushing sound of McKinnon Falls marks the deeper, wilder edges of the surrounding woods. Eel River Crossing maintains a character defined by its proximity to the water and the sturdy, practical history of its founding families. The local economy has long leaned into the rhythms of the land and the coast, with a resilience that mirrors the endurance of the local timber and service industries. Life in Eel River Crossing moves with the seasons, from the bright, sharp clarity of winter to the humid, green expansion of the summer months. People here carry a quiet awareness of their place between the river and the sea, anchoring their traditions in the simple, necessary work of the day. The local heritage reflects a blend of influences that have settled here over generations, creating a way of life that values the steady, predictable turning of the year above all else.
Eel River Crossing s'étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où la lumière du crépuscule semble suspendue au-dessus des rives de la rivière Eel pour envelopper les terres d'une clarté argentée. Dominé par la présence silencieuse de la colline Convent, le paysage exhale une respiration maritime qui forge le caractère des gens d'ici, habitués au rythme des marées et aux vents salins remontant du large. À quelques lieues, le lac Hicks repose dans un calme minéral, tandis que les chutes McKinnon offrent leur grondement familier aux promeneurs attentifs. Plus loin, le Parc national de Miguasha rappelle la profondeur géologique de cette région du Restigouche, soulignant une permanence qui dépasse l'agitation humaine. L'histoire de Eel River Crossing se lit dans la simplicité des façades et la persistance d'un mode de vie qui privilégie la proximité avec les éléments, qu'il s'agisse de la sylviculture ou des métiers tournés vers l'horizon marin. L'air y est vif, chargé de l'humidité des eaux froides, et chaque sentier qui s'enfonce vers les hauteurs ou longe les berges confirme un attachement viscéral à cette terre. Les traditions acadiennes et les héritages autochtones persistent dans la mémoire orale, transformant chaque rencontre en une forme de reconnaissance mutuelle sous le ciel vaste du Nouveau-Brunswick.
