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 French Village.
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.

French Village is a locality in York, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. French Village is located at 45.9500°N, 66.8333°W.
French Village rests upon the high, fertile shoulder of land known as Keswick Ridge, where the earth holds the morning light in a soft, golden suspension. It lies 5.1 km south-south-west of Central York, NB (from Central York, NB: bearing 200°T), and is situated 12.9 km west of Fredericton. The Saint John River exerts a steady, gravitational pull on the life of French Village, its broad currents carving a wide path through the valley floor below. Nearby, the quiet waters of Murray Lake offer a reflective contrast to the moving river, while the wild descent of Split Rock Falls provides a distant, rushing pulse to the landscape. Mactaquac Provincial Park borders the woods, preserving the dense green canopy that defines the horizon and keeps the air cool even when the summer heat settles thick over the fields. Generations have turned this heavy, dark soil toward the sun, building an economy rooted in the resilience of orchards and the steady yield of the harvest. French Village maintains a quiet character, one defined by the steady work of farmers and the persistence of those who choose to live where the seasons dictate the pace of every day. History here is found in the simple geometry of old barns and the way the light fades behind the ridge, signaling the end of another cycle of labor. Life in French Village follows the turning of the leaves and the rise of the river, a practice of patience that leaves little room for the haste of the outside world.
French Village s'étire avec une noblesse tranquille le long des rives de la rivière Saint John, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous la protection tutélaire de la crête Keswick. Dans cette contrée aux reliefs doux, la lumière du couchant se fragmente sur l'eau, révélant une quiétude que les hommes ont apprivoisée par le labeur des champs et le respect des cycles naturels. La proximité du parc provincial Mactaquac confère aux environs une respiration forestière, tandis que l'évocation des chutes Split Rock rappelle la vigueur sauvage des courants qui sculptent la géologie locale. À quelques encablures, le lac Murray dépose un miroir immobile dans le paysage, offrant aux résidents un horizon de sérénité absolue. French Village conserve l'héritage d'une installation humaine patiente, façonnée par les exigences de la terre et la proximité des eaux nourricières. Les journées s'y écoulent sans précipitation, marquées par le murmure du vent dans les hautes herbes et le changement subtil des teintes sur le versant des collines. Ici, le quotidien se définit par une intimité profonde avec les éléments, où chaque sentier et chaque courbe du terrain racontent une histoire de persistence, liant indéfectiblement les habitants à la terre fertile et aux courants qui sillonnent cette région de la province.
