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 Lower Chatham Head.
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.

Lower Chatham Head is a urban community in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lower Chatham Head is located at 47.0091°N, 65.5367°W.
Lower Chatham Head rests upon the low, firm shoulders of land that overlook the Miramichi River. It lies 5.3 km west of Miramichi, NB (from Miramichi, NB: bearing 276°T), and is situated 8.5 km north-east of Eel Ground. The terrain here holds a persistent, quiet gravity, where the air often carries a sharp, metallic clarity that defines the transition from the river’s edge toward the rising slopes of Ashton Hill. As dusk settles, the light flattens against the bank, turning the water into a sheet of hammered pewter that seems to absorb the day’s lingering warmth before the evening chill takes hold. Nearby, the Chatham Reservoir sits in stillness, a silent basin that anchors the surrounding topography and offers a mirror to the shifting clouds above the treeline. The history of Lower Chatham Head remains rooted in the labor of the river, where the movement of timber and the seasonal pulse of the water long dictated the pace of life. While the industries that once dominated the shore have evolved, the work of the people here retains a focused, practical character, shaped by the demands of a climate that expects resilience. Residents often mark the turning of the seasons by the changing currents of the Miramichi River, a constant presence that informs the local perspective on endurance and change. The land itself, characterized by its steady, unadorned incline toward Ashton Hill, provides a grounded sense of place for those who continue to build their lives along these banks.
Lower Chatham Head s’étire avec une patience tranquille sur les rives de la rivière Miramichi, là où l’air se charge d’une humidité fine venant de l’estuaire. Le relief s’élève doucement vers la colline Ashton, dont les pentes boisées dominent les habitations éparpillées dans une lumière rasante, celle des fins de journée qui semblent suspendre le mouvement du monde. Non loin, les eaux calmes du Chatham Reservoir conservent une immobilité presque minérale, contrastant avec le courant imperceptible qui anime la rivière Miramichi. Le sol, marqué par une longue tradition de travail forestier et de labeur lié aux ressources du bassin, garde le souvenir des hommes qui ont façonné cette terre en tirant leur subsistance des forêts et des eaux environnantes. À Lower Chatham Head, le rythme des journées s'accorde au déclin du soleil sur les crêtes de la colline Ashton, créant une atmosphère où le silence n'est rompu que par le frémissement du vent dans les arbres. Chaque maison, nichée dans ce cadre dépouillé, semble attendre le retour de la marée ou le changement de saison, perpétuant une existence simple, intimement liée à la géographie austère et généreuse qui définit l’identité profonde de ce secteur du Northumberland.

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.
