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 Howland Ridge.
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.

Howland Ridge is a locality in York, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Howland Ridge is located at 46.1488°N, 67.1713°W.
Howland Ridge rises as a quiet, elevated spine of forest and stone within the York landscape. It lies 17.6 km north-north-east of Nackawic-Millville, NB (from Nackawic-Millville, NB: bearing 17°T), and is situated 2.9 km north-east of Millville. The terrain here holds a stillness that gathers in the hollows, where the air turns sharp and thin long before the sun dips below the horizon. Taffy Lake sits tucked into the surrounding wild, a reflective eye of water that mirrors the changing intensities of the sky. Nearby, the Keswick River carves its path through the lower reaches, its presence felt in the damp, cool scent of pine and moss that hangs heavy over the slope. During the autumn, the light catches the birch and maple leaves, turning the entire ridge into a brief, burning ember before the winter frost settles deep into the earth. The character of Howland Ridge remains defined by the deliberate, steady work of those who live among its trees and clearings. Historically, the land has served as a source of timber and subsistence, shaping a local economy that moves in alignment with the seasons rather than the clock. While the bustle of Mactaquac Provincial Park draws visitors to the wider region, the ridge itself maintains a private dignity, preferring the solitude of the woods to the noise of the outside world. Life here acknowledges the weight of the Canadian interior, where the work of the day is measured by the woodpile and the maintenance of the trail, leaving the inhabitants to exist in a rare and honest communion with the geography.
Howland Ridge s’élève avec une humilité minérale au-dessus des terres de la région de York, offrant aux regards une topographie où les ondulations du sol semblent retenir la lumière déclinante du soir. Sur cette éminence, le climat imprime aux bois une vigueur austère, tandis que les habitants cultivent une existence rythmée par la rudesse du terrain et la proximité silencieuse du lac Taffy, situé à peine à deux kilomètres. L’air y possède une netteté cristalline, chargée de l’odeur résineuse des conifères qui surplombent les vallées environnantes, là où la rivière Keswick poursuit sa course lente vers des horizons plus vastes. L’économie locale, forgée par un passé tourné vers l’exploitation forestière et une agriculture de subsistance, a laissé des traces discrètes dans les chemins qui serpentent entre les parcelles. Si le parc provincial Mactaquac impose sa présence à une trentaine de kilomètres, Howland Ridge préserve une intimité farouche, loin des grands mouvements du monde. Ici, la terre exige un labeur constant, une patience héritée des ancêtres qui ont su défricher ces pentes pierreuses, façonnant une identité locale qui se transmet autant par le geste que par le silence partagé face à l'immensité des forêts qui ceinturent chaque foyer.

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 Howland Ridge 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.
