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 Newcastle.
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 Newcastle is a locality in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lower Newcastle is located at 47.0815°N, 65.3939°W.
Lower Newcastle rests along the Atlantic coast, where the land yields to the persistent influence of the Miramichi River. It lies 10.2 km north-north-east of Miramichi, NB (from Miramichi, NB: bearing 33°T), and is situated 13.8 km south-west of Barryville. The terrain rises toward the slopes of the Ashton Hill, creating a landscape defined by the meeting of salt air and freshwater currents. At dusk, the light here possesses a heavy, silver quality that clings to the shoreline, turning the water into a mirror for the shifting clouds. While Chatham Lake sits six kilometers removed from the immediate coast, its presence informs the quiet moisture that settles over the low-lying fields as evening descends. The history of Lower Newcastle maintains a clear connection to the maritime industry and the harvests drawn from the surrounding waters. Generations have looked to the Miramichi River for their livelihood, finding a steady purpose in the seasonal movements of the tide. The pace of life follows the cooling of the air and the turning of the seasons, characterized by a practical diligence that values the work at hand over restless change. Even when the winds from the Atlantic sharpen, the people of Lower Newcastle find a certain comfort in the familiar persistence of their surroundings, moving through their days with a steady, grounded attention to the land.
Lower Newcastle s’étend le long des rives de la rivière Miramichi, là où l’air salin de la côte atlantique vient caresser les terres basses avec une régularité apaisante. À proximité de la colline Ashton, le relief s’élève doucement, offrant une perspective privilégiée sur les eaux sombres et puissantes du cours d’eau qui a longtemps dicté le rythme des activités forestières et maritimes locales. Le paysage, marqué par une lumière dorée qui semble s’attarder sur les champs et les boisés environnants, trouve un écho paisible dans la présence du lac Chatham, situé à quelques kilomètres de distance. Les résidents de Lower Newcastle observent les marées et les changements de la brise marine avec cette patience propre aux gens qui habitent les marges fertiles du Nouveau-Brunswick. Ici, l’héritage des familles qui ont défriché ces sols se perçoit dans l’architecture simple des maisons, dont les façades tournées vers la rivière semblent guetter le passage des saisons. Cette terre, façonnée par les éléments et l'activité humaine, conserve une identité singulière, une noblesse discrète qui se révèle pleinement lorsque le crépuscule enveloppe la colline Ashton dans une ombre mauve, laissant alors la rivière Miramichi murmurer ses récits anciens aux rivages silencieux.

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.
