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 Hampstead.
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.

Hampstead is a locality in Queens, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a town. Hampstead is located at 45.6212°N, 66.0822°W.
Hampstead emerges from the quiet elevation of the Mooneys Ridge, overlooking the slow, deliberate pulse of the Saint John River. It lies 20.5 km west-north-west of Hampton, NB (from Hampton, NB: bearing 300°T), and is situated 8.0 km west-north-west of Kars. The land here holds a particular stillness, where the low light of evening catches the moisture rising from the banks, turning the air into a thin, silver veil. Beyond the immediate rise of the ridge, the landscape stretches toward the hidden basin of Rabbit Lake, three kilometers away, where the water gathers in the hollows of the earth. This is a region defined by the long, deep reach of the river, which dictates the shape of the horizon and the way the shadows lengthen across the slopes as the sun slips behind the trees. Hampstead retains the quiet weight of its long connection to the river, which served as the primary artery for early settlers and the movement of goods through this part of the province. While the bustle of larger settlements remains distant, the Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area, thirty-eight kilometers away, preserves a wilder character that echoes the original state of these river corridors. Life in Hampstead follows the turn of the seasons, marked by the practical demands of the land and the persistent, low-frequency hum of the current against the shore. The economy here is measured in the steady maintenance of homesteads and the seasonal cycles of the woods, far removed from the frantic pace of urban centers.
Hampstead se déploie avec une grâce tranquille sur la crête Mooneys, observant depuis sa hauteur les méandres calmes de la rivière Saint John. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les pentes douces, révélant une terre façonnée par une vocation agricole ancienne, où les bâtisses aux lignes sobres rappellent la persévérance des premiers colons venus établir leurs foyers sur ces rives fertiles. À quelques kilomètres, le lac Rabbit dissimule ses eaux sombres dans une quiétude préservée, tandis que la nature sauvage des terres environnantes confère à Hampstead une atmosphère de recueillement propice aux travaux des champs et à la vie au rythme des éléments. L'air y circule avec une limpidité qui souligne chaque détail de la topographie, des ondulations du terrain jusqu'aux lointaines étendues du Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area, dont la présence impose une respiration vaste à tout le paysage. Ici, la modernité s'efface devant la permanence des cycles naturels, permettant aux habitants de cultiver une existence harmonieuse, liée à la terre par une fidélité silencieuse et quotidienne. Le silence n'est jamais vide, il porte le souffle du vent sur la rivière Saint John, offrant aux regards une beauté dépouillée, essentielle, qui définit la dignité de ce territoire.

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 Hampstead 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.
