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 Gillespie Settlement.
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.

Gillespie Settlement is a locality in Victoria, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Gillespie Settlement is located at 46.9593°N, 67.7562°W.
Gillespie Settlement rests within the quiet elevation of Horseback Hill, overlooking the persistent currents of the Saint John River. It lies 10.5 km south of Grand Falls, NB (from Grand Falls, NB: bearing 189°T), and is situated 10.5 km south of Grand-Sault. The landscape holds a deliberate stillness, where the low light of evening catches the edges of the terrain, casting long shadows across the slopes. To the north, the presence of Round Lake offers a reprieve of mirrored water, while the greater reach of Grand Falls sits only a short distance away, marking the broader geography with its storied power. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and cooling stone, a sensory reminder of the settlement’s position amidst the higher ground. The history of Gillespie Settlement emerges from the resilience required to work this particular incline, where the soil demands patience from those who cultivate it. Agriculture has long defined the local character, with fields carved into the hillside that have sustained families through generations of changing seasons. Life in Gillespie Settlement moves in accordance with the demands of the land and the seasonal shifts of the Saint John River, fostering a tradition of self-reliance that persists in the quiet industry of the residents. Even today, the work of the day concludes with the same steady cadence that has marked the passage of time in this corner of the province since its earliest settlement.
Gillespie Settlement s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les pentes de la colline Horseback, dominant les méandres de la rivière Saint John. Ici, la terre se décline en une succession de reliefs vigoureux où le travail des générations passées a su apprivoiser la rigueur du climat pour en tirer une subsistance humble et robuste. À seulement un kilomètre de distance, le lac Round offre une étendue d'eau immobile, miroir sombre reflétant les cieux changeants de cette contrée, tandis que le fracas lointain des chutes Grand ponctue le silence des forêts environnantes d'un murmure constant. Les habitants de Gillespie Settlement observent la lumière du soir glisser sur les crêtes, transformant les champs en de longues traînées d'ombre tandis que l'air s'alourdit d'une fraîcheur humide montant de la vallée. La vie s'y organise selon le rythme lent des travaux agricoles et le respect de ces paysages qui imposent leur loi aux hommes. Entre le sol fertile et le courant vigoureux de la rivière Saint John, Gillespie Settlement préserve une identité façonnée par l'effort, une présence discrète mais indéniable dans la lumière déclinante qui enveloppe chaque soir la colline Horseback.

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.
