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 Nictau.
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.

Nictau is a locality in Victoria, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Nictau is located at 47.2340°N, 67.1545°W.
Nictau occupies a quiet, secluded position along the banks of the Tobique River, where the land rises toward the sheltering presence of the Mink Cove Ridge. It lies 35.9 km south-south-east of Saint-Quentin, NB (from Saint-Quentin, NB: bearing 150°T), and is situated 8.0 km north-north-east of Riley Brook. The cool, thin air of these northern reaches carries a clarity that sharpens the edges of the surrounding spruce and balsam, while the river itself pulls the light of the sky down into its dark, moving currents. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain holds a stillness that lingers long after the sun has slipped behind the high ground, leaving the valley to settle into the deepening indigo of a northern dusk. Life in Nictau has long been defined by the proximity of the wilderness, with the rhythm of the seasons dictating the pulse of the local landscape. While Rocky Lake remains a hidden basin of calm water nearby, the more vigorous energy of McCarty Falls serves as a reminder of the raw power held within the region’s waterways. Those drawn to the broader horizon often look toward the heights of Parc provincial Mont Carleton, a landmark that anchors the distant perspective. The legacy of Nictau persists through a deep connection to the forest and the river, maintaining a character that values the endurance of the woods over the clamor of the modern world.
Nictau s'étire avec une noblesse silencieuse le long des rives de la rivière Tobique, là où l'air semble porter une mémoire ancienne des forêts denses et des vents venus des hauteurs. Dominé par la présence imposante de la crête Mink Cove, le terrain se déploie en une géographie de contrastes, invitant le regard vers des horizons sauvages. À mesure que le jour décline, une lumière ambrée baigne les eaux courantes, révélant la sérénité de ce poste forestier dont l'existence demeure intimement liée au rythme des bois. La proximité du lac Rocky, situé à quelques lieues, offre un miroir aux cimes environnantes, tandis que le fracas lointain des chutes McCarty ponctue le calme minéral de la vallée. Plus loin, le Parc provincial Mont Carleton impose sa silhouette souveraine sur la ligne de crête, rappelant la permanence d'une nature indomptée. Nictau conserve ainsi l'esprit des travailleurs qui ont façonné cette terre par le bois et la patience, cultivant une simplicité rigoureuse. Les traditions locales, nourries par les héritages autochtones et les labeurs pionniers, persistent dans le silence des clairières et le courant constant de la rivière, offrant à Nictau une dignité austère que seuls les reliefs escarpés et le souffle du nord peuvent véritablement comprendre.

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.
