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 Howard.
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.

Howard is a locality in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Howard is located at 46.6685°N, 65.7810°W.
Howard rests within the quiet elevation of Campbelltown Hill, anchored by the persistent presence of the Cains River. It lies 7.5 km south-south-east of Miramichi River Valley, NB (from Miramichi River Valley, NB: bearing 147°T), and is situated 7.8 km south-south-east of Blackville. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of damp cedar and the cooling stone of the riverbank, where the light at dusk turns the water into a dark, polished ribbon. High above the valley floor, the terrain rises in slopes that catch the morning frost, defining the rugged, forested character of the landscape. South Lake sits roughly 11 km away, a silent mirror held in the basin of the surrounding woods, contributing to the stillness that defines the upper reaches of this Northumberland terrain. The history of Howard remains tied to the extraction of timber and the seasonal pulse of the woods, where the economy has long leaned into the harvest of the surrounding forest. Life in Howard follows the turning of the seasons, marked by the methodical work of those who know how to read the grain of the land and the depth of the winter snow. Small, functional structures stand among the trees, reflecting a local habit of economy and endurance that favors utility over ornament. On late afternoons, the sound of the Cains River provides a constant, low-frequency hum beneath the activities of the residents, grounding the daily work of the people in the reality of the water and the timbered hills.
Howard s’étire avec une humilité certaine sur les pentes de la colline Campbelltown, là où le regard s’attarde sur les méandres de la rivière Cains. Dans cette partie de Northumberland, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les ondulations du terrain avec une douceur qui semble suspendre le cours des heures, révélant une terre où la présence humaine s’est installée avec patience, sans jamais brusquer le silence des bois environnants. À onze kilomètres de là, le lac South attend dans une immobilité minérale, conservant la mémoire des brumes qui s'élèvent tôt le matin pour envelopper les arbres. Howard conserve une allure de retrait, portée par le bruissement constant de la rivière Cains, dont le courant accompagne le labeur discret de ceux qui habitent ces hauteurs. Les résidents y cultivent un rapport intime avec le sol, un lien qui se transmet par le geste et le respect des saisons sylvicoles, loin des agitations du monde. Ici, l’air porte une fraîcheur résineuse, presque vive, qui imprègne les façades et les sentiers. Chaque soir, la colline Campbelltown se dessine contre un ciel qui s'assombrit, marquant la limite entre la solitude sauvage du territoire et la chaleur des foyers, assurant la continuité d'une vie rythmée par la géographie pure qui entoure Howard.

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 Howard 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.
