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 McGowans Corner.
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.

McGowans Corner is a locality in Sunbury, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. McGowans Corner is located at 45.8888°N, 66.2976°W.
McGowans Corner rests quietly upon the low-lying reaches of the Saint John River, where the earth seems to hold its breath beneath the expansive sky of Sunbury. It lies 14.2 km east-north-east of Oromocto, NB (from Oromocto, NB: bearing 71°T), and is situated 15.7 km west-north-west of Jemseg. The land here rises toward the Oak Point Ridge, grounding the horizon in a firm, earthen line that defines the reach of the valley. At dusk, the light loses its sharpness, settling in a pale, bruised violet over the water as the cooling air draws the scent of damp soil and river reeds toward the road. Near the margins of the fields, the stillness is absolute, broken only by the occasional shift of shadows as the sun retreats behind the ridge. The history of McGowans Corner mirrors the persistent pull of the Saint John River, which has long served as the primary artery for those who built their lives along these banks. While the economy remains rooted in the quiet labor of the land, the nearby Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area and the sheltered waters of Cowperthwaite Lake offer a sanctuary for the natural world to persist undisturbed. Residents go about their tasks with a steady, deliberate motion, mindful of the seasons that dictate the cycle of growth and harvest. Even now, the proximity to the water keeps McGowans Corner anchored to the ancient, fluid movements of the landscape, where the passing of a single day feels as significant as the slow, steady turning of the tide.
McGowans Corner s’étire avec une langueur paisible près de la crête Oak Point, là où les terres basses accueillent la respiration lente de la rivière Saint John. Dans ce repli du Nouveau-Brunswick, la lumière du crépuscule semble s'attarder sur les champs, révélant une topographie douce qui se laisse bercer par la proximité des eaux. À deux kilomètres, le lac Cowperthwaite offre une présence immobile, miroir sombre et silencieux qui capte les derniers éclats du jour, tandis qu’à quatre kilomètres, la Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area protège un sanctuaire de vie sauvage où le bruissement des roseaux remplace le tumulte des hommes. McGowans Corner conserve une allure de quiétude agricole, héritière de ces journées où le travail de la terre dictait seul le rythme des heures. L’air y est chargé d’une humidité légère, propre aux vallées fluviales, une sensation qui enveloppe les chemins et les demeures éparpillées. Ici, la vie s’écoule sans précipitation, observant le passage des marées intérieures et la lente migration des oiseaux au-dessus des zones humides. Les habitants, gardiens d'une géographie discrète, reconnaissent chaque inflexion du terrain, habitués à ce voisinage constant avec les courants et les rives qui définissent leur horizon quotidien.
