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 LaPlante.
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.

LaPlante is a locality in Gloucester, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. LaPlante is located at 47.7689°N, 65.7750°W.
LaPlante rests where the land leans toward the Atlantic coast, cradled by the quiet presence of the Tetagouche Hill. It lies 9.3 km north-west of Belle-Baie, NB (from Belle-Baie, NB: bearing 325°T), and is situated 4.6 km west-south-west of Petit-Rocher. The Nigadoo River flows with a persistent, low-voiced clarity through this terrain, carrying the scent of salt and damp stone as it nears the sea. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, translucent violet, catching the edges of the riverbank where the air grows heavy with the chill of the coming night. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the landscape holds its breath, waiting for the shifting tides that define the daily pulse of the coast. History in LaPlante remains closely tied to the resourcefulness of those who settled near the water, turning to the forest and the river to sustain their way of life. The economy mirrors the modest, enduring character of the region, where the labor of the day follows the natural inclinations of the land. While the deeper interior holds secrets like the Lac à la Truite, tucked away eleven kilometers from the center, and the distant, rushing energy of Tetagouche Falls seventeen kilometers removed, the village itself focuses on the immediate demands of the season. Life here moves with a steady, deliberate intention, much like the water pressing against the rocks, shaped by the persistent influence of a climate that demands both resilience and a quiet appreciation for the changing sky.
LaPlante s’étire avec une patience minérale sur la côte atlantique, là où l’air marin s’alourdit du parfum des résineux et de l’iode. À l’ombre protectrice de la colline Tetagouche, le terrain s’incline doucement vers les eaux vives de la rivière Nigadoo, dont le courant semble porter en lui le souvenir des premières familles acadiennes venues défricher cette terre austère. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une clarté singulière, faisant miroiter les crêtes de la forêt environnante tandis que le silence s’installe sur les pentes. En s’éloignant vers l’intérieur des terres, le promeneur découvre le Lac à la Truite, miroir immobile niché dans le relief, ou s’aventure vers les chutes Tetagouche dont le fracas régulier rythme la vie sauvage et paisible des environs. Les habitants de LaPlante cultivent une relation intime avec ces horizons, façonnés par une rudesse climatique qui exige une humilité constante face aux éléments. Ici, le quotidien se déploie sans artifice, entre le labeur traditionnel et la contemplation des grandes étendues qui bordent le golfe, offrant aux regards une solitude pleine de noblesse où chaque saison redessine la silhouette de la terre selon les caprices de la marée et du vent.

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 LaPlante 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.
