This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Magnetic Hill, New Brunswick. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Magnetic Hill.
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.

Magnetic Hill is a locality in Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Magnetic Hill is located at 46.1347°N, 64.8885°W.
Magnetic Hill stands as a curious anomaly of the land, situated near the rolling rises of Scotts Hill where the horizon feels pressed close by the weight of the sky. It lies 7.9 km west-north-west of Moncton, NB (from Moncton, NB: bearing 300°T), and is situated 11.9 km south-west of Maple Hills. The terrain here holds a strange, lingering tension, as if the earth itself refuses to settle into the expected repose of the New Brunswick landscape. Near the Shediac River, the air carries a crisp, cool moisture that rises from the low ground at dusk, softening the sharp edges of the trees and turning the light a bruised, melancholy purple. While the McLaughlin Road Reservoir rests in the distance, the immediate ground around Magnetic Hill maintains a quiet, heavy stillness, inviting the observer to question the very tilt of the world beneath their boots. Economic life around Magnetic Hill has long turned upon the magnetism of curiosity, drawing travelers to witness the optical illusion that defies the common sense of the slope. This local industry thrives on the simple human desire to be puzzled, transforming a quirk of topography into a destination that anchors the regional character. The days pass with a steady, pragmatic focus, yet there remains a lingering sense of mystery that persists long after the visitors have departed. Whether under the stark clarity of a winter sun or the thick, humid haze of midsummer, Magnetic Hill retains an essential, detached composure, indifferent to the scrutiny of those who come to see if the ground truly pulls against the laws of gravity.
Magnetic Hill se déploie sur un terrain qui semble défier les lois de la pesanteur, offrant aux voyageurs une illusion saisissante où la pente se mue en platitude mystérieuse. Près de la colline Scotts, le paysage se décline en ondulations douces, façonnées par une terre que les générations ont cultivée avec une persévérance silencieuse. Le regard se porte vers les rives de la rivière Shediac, dont les eaux cheminent paisiblement à travers ces terres, tandis que le McLaughlin Road Reservoir, situé à quelques kilomètres, conserve une clarté tranquille sous le ciel changeant du Nouveau-Brunswick. La lumière du crépuscule, étirant les ombres sur les champs avoisinants, confère à Magnetic Hill une aura singulière, presque onirique, qui attire depuis longtemps les curieux venus éprouver ce phénomène optique troublant. L’air y porte une fraîcheur particulière, chargée des parfums de la terre humide et des bois environnants, rappelant la proximité des racines acadiennes qui habitent encore la mémoire des lieux. Ici, le quotidien s’articule autour de cette curiosité géographique devenue un emblème, transformant une simple déclivité routière en une halte inattendue où le réel et l'imaginaire se rencontrent dans un jeu de perspectives infini.

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 Magnetic Hill 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.
