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 Mactaquac.
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.

Mactaquac is a locality in York, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Mactaquac is located at 45.9415°N, 66.8841°W.
Mactaquac rests in a quiet fold of the land where the Saint John River widens, its currents carving a persistent path past the rising slopes of Keswick Ridge. It lies 8.1 km south-west of Central York, NB (from Central York, NB: bearing 225°T), and is situated 13.2 km south of Burtts Corner. The water here holds a silver, glass-like clarity at dusk, mirroring the dark silhouettes of trees that stand as silent sentinels along the banks. Only 3 km away, Mactaquac Provincial Park offers a verdant expanse of managed woodland, while further afield, the landscape reveals its hidden corners, such as Murray Lake tucked 8 km distant and the sudden, rushing energy of Split Rock Falls located 12 km from the heart of the reach. The air carries a crisp, lingering dampness that settles over the low ground, grounding the senses in a geography defined by the steady, unrelenting movement of the river. Mactaquac bears the marks of a landscape transformed by human necessity, where the local economy and the shape of the terrain have long been shaped by the presence of the dam. Life in Mactaquac follows the seasonal shift of the light, moving from the long, bright days of summer recreation to the muffled, heavy stillness of a winter frost. The history of the region is heavy with the legacy of the Saint John River, which once dictated the flow of timber and trade, and today continues to define the character of those who reside near its edge. Residents here observe the changing water levels with the familiarity of kin, noting how the seasons alter the shoreline and dictate the pace of the day. Even as modern industry leaves its imprint, the surrounding hills retain a stubborn, wild persistence that reminds one of the land’s original, quiet sovereignty.
Mactaquac s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives de la rivière Saint John, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant l'horizon. La lumière déclinante y accroche les reliefs de la crête Keswick, transformant les pentes en une étoffe changeante sous un ciel qui s'élargit à mesure que le jour décline. À seulement trois kilomètres, le parc provincial Mactaquac offre aux arbres une tranquillité ancienne, tandis que plus loin, les eaux du lac Murray et le tumulte retenu des chutes Split Rock rappellent la force silencieuse qui façonne ce terrain. Mactaquac porte en elle les traces d'une transformation profonde, marquée par l'énergie domestiquée et le travail obstiné des hommes qui ont su apprivoiser le passage de l'eau. Dans ce décor, le quotidien se mesure aux humeurs du courant et au bruissement constant des forêts environnantes, créant une atmosphère où le temps ne se compte pas, mais se ressent dans la fraîcheur humide de l'air. Les habitants habitent cet espace avec une simplicité dénuée d'artifice, trouvant dans la proximité de la rivière Saint John une présence constante, presque familière, qui dicte le rythme paisible des journées. Ici, chaque détail du paysage raconte la persévérance d'une vie qui s'accommode avec noblesse des vastes étendues boréales.
