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 McAdam.
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.

McAdam is a village in York, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a large city. McAdam is located at 45.5922°N, 67.3081°W.
McAdam sits firmly within the rugged, forested expanse of The Horseback, a terrain defined by its ancient, elevated ridges and deep woodland silences. It lies 28.5 km west-south-west of Harvey, NB (from Harvey, NB: bearing 237°T), and is situated 21.2 km north-north-west of Lawrence Station. The land here holds the damp, cool scent of pine and granite, where the light at dusk settles long and heavy against the tree lines. Foster Lake lies about 4 km away, its surface often mirroring the stillness of the surrounding timber, while the St. Croix River runs about 10 km away, carving a path through the quiet wilderness. Further afield, Little Falls is about 15 km away, contributing to the hidden, water-bound character of this region. The history of McAdam remains anchored to the iron rails that once demanded the labor of many, serving as a vital junction that dictated the movement of goods and people across the landscape. The economy has shifted from the intense, steam-driven pulse of its earlier years toward a quieter endurance, where the current work of residents reflects the persistent demands of forestry and local trade. Buildings of stone and heavy timber stand as reminders of a time when the weight of industry defined the daily movement of the people. The air here carries the lingering grit of that industrious past, though the pace of the present day is marked by the steady, deliberate habits of those who choose to live among the trees. Cultural life in McAdam persists through the shared stories of its inhabitants and the preservation of landmarks that anchor the identity of the village to its railway roots. Local traditions often revolve around the proximity to the woods and the changing seasons, which turn the landscape from a vibrant green into a stark, crystalline white. While the village does not claim famous individuals in the conventional sense, the character of the place is built by the generations who have navigated the terrain of The Horseback with resilience. Events here occur with a modest sincerity, drawing people together in halls and gathering spaces that serve as the quiet heart of the village.
McAdam s'éveille sous une lumière ambrée qui semble s'attarder sur les crêtes de The Horseback, révélant la patience minérale d'un terrain façonné par des siècles de labeur ferroviaire. Ici, l'air porte une fraîcheur singulière, celle qui remonte des eaux sombres du lac Foster situé à quelques lieues, offrant aux habitants une quiétude presque insulaire. La vie quotidienne s'ordonne selon le souvenir des locomotives qui firent la renommée de McAdam, transformant ce repli du Nouveau-Brunswick en un monument vivant à l'ingéniosité humaine face aux forêts denses. À proximité, le cours impétueux de la rivière St. Croix murmure des récits anciens aux rochers, tandis que les chutes Little ponctuent le silence des bois d'un fracas cristallin que le vent transporte jusqu'aux seuils des maisons. Les jardins potagers s'étirent entre les parcelles de terre brune, rappelant que la subsistance des familles a longtemps dépendu de ce sol généreux. Dans les gestes lents des passants, on devine la persistance d'une culture forgée par la rigueur des hivers et la loyauté envers une terre qui exige autant qu'elle protège. La beauté réside dans cette simplicité austère, où chaque ombre portée sur le relief devient une confidence sur les jours passés et ceux à venir.

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 McAdam 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.
