This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Newcastle, 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 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.

Newcastle is a urban community in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Newcastle is located at 47.0039°N, 65.5672°W.
Newcastle rests with quiet purpose upon the banks of the Miramichi River, a landscape shaped by the steady, dark pulse of moving water. It lies 7.6 km west of Miramichi, NB (from Miramichi, NB: bearing 270°T), and is situated 6.3 km north-east of Eel Ground. The terrain rises toward the slopes of the nearby Ashton Hill, where the air often holds a crisp, bracing clarity that clarifies the horizon. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the Miramichi River, turning the water to the color of tarnished silver while the shadows lengthen across the surrounding timbered land. A few kilometers away, the Chatham Reservoir remains a still, reflective presence in the geography, marking a point of stillness against the persistent flow of the river current. The history of Newcastle draws its strength from the timber trade and the early shipping ventures that once relied on the deep reach of the Miramichi River to connect with the wider world. Life in Newcastle follows the turning of the seasons, moving with the practical, deliberate pace of a locale that has long balanced industry with the demands of the natural world. Notable figures, including the statesman Richard Bedford Bennett, emerged from this environment to shape broader political spheres, yet the focus here often returns to the immediate surroundings and the shared heritage of the riverbanks. Whether through the seasonal shifts in labor or the enduring character of its landmarks, Newcastle persists as a distinct point of focus, grounded by the steady weight of its geography.
Newcastle s'étire avec une patience tranquille sur les rives de la rivière Miramichi, là où le courant semble retenir son souffle avant de poursuivre sa course vers l'estuaire. À proximité, la silhouette discrète de la colline Ashton domine les terres environnantes, offrant une vigie naturelle sur une topographie façonnée par les eaux et les vents. L'histoire de Newcastle demeure indissociable de l'exploitation forestière et de la construction navale, des activités qui ont longtemps dicté le rythme des jours, transformant le bois brut en navires destinés aux horizons lointains. À cinq kilomètres de distance, les eaux dormantes du Chatham Reservoir complètent ce paysage où la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les boisés avec une douceur presque palpable. Le quotidien y conserve une noblesse simple, marquée par le respect des traditions qui unissent les familles acadiennes et les héritiers des premières nations dans une existence tournée vers les forces élémentaires du territoire. La rudesse du climat forge ici des caractères fermes, habitués à la persistance du froid et à la clarté crue des matins d'hiver. En observant les reflets changeants de la rivière Miramichi, il devient aisé de percevoir comment Newcastle s'inscrit dans la durée, non par une agitation vaine, mais par une présence solide, faite de bois, de pierre et d'une mémoire collective solidement attachée à ces terres bordant la colline Ashton.

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 Newcastle 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.
