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 Painsec Junction.
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.

Painsec Junction is a locality in Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Painsec Junction is located at 46.1373°N, 64.6641°W.
The low, damp light of the Atlantic coast settles over Painsec Junction, softening the edges of the fields that stretch toward the rising silhouette of Scotts Hill. It lies 11.3 km east-north-east of Moncton, NB (from Moncton, NB: bearing 68°T), and is situated 14.2 km south-east of Maple Hills. The land here holds a quiet stillness, where the air tastes of salt and the heavy, cooling dampness that clings to the earth as the sun retreats. To the west, the Petitcodiac River moves through the wider landscape about 9 km away, a presence felt in the shifting moisture of the wind, while the sheltered basin of Melanson Settlement Lake rests roughly 6 km distant. The terrain maintains a steady, unremarkable grace, defined by the coastal winds that keep the grasses shivering and the horizon open to a vast, grey sky. Painsec Junction carries the weight of a history rooted in the iron and steam of the rail, where the intersection of tracks once dictated the movement of goods and people across the province. Modern life in Painsec Junction now moves with a practical, quiet efficiency, favoring the steady work of local industry and the maintenance of homesteads over the bustle of larger centers. The residents often observe a particular clarity in the dusk, a moment when the shadows lengthen across the gravel and the transition from labor to rest feels absolute. This is a landscape of functional beauty, where the permanence of the ground and the distant, unseen pulse of the tide define the boundaries of the day.
Painsec Junction s’étire avec une patience tranquille sur la côte atlantique, là où le sol semble retenir encore le souvenir des labours ancestraux. À proximité de la colline Scotts, le relief s’infléchit avec une douceur qui commande l’attention, offrant aux regards une perspective dégagée sur les terres basses. La lumière déclinante du soir nimbe les champs d’une teinte cuivrée, soulignant la rudesse élégante du terrain qui s’étend vers le lac Melanson Settlement, distant de quelques kilomètres seulement. La présence de la rivière Petitcodiac, coulant à environ neuf kilomètres, imprègne l’atmosphère d’une humidité saline qui accompagne le souffle des marées. Painsec Junction porte en elle l’héritage des pionniers qui ont su domestiquer cette terre ferme, façonnant une identité agricole marquée par le labeur et la ténacité. Le vent qui balaie les espaces ouverts apporte parfois les échos d’une vie rythmée par la terre, loin de l’agitation des grands centres. Ici, le silence n’est jamais tout à fait complet, habité par le frémissement des herbes hautes et le passage invisible des saisons sur les pentes de la colline Scotts. Les habitants observent ce paysage inchangé, gardiens d’une simplicité qui se lit dans la rectitude des clôtures et la sobriété des bâtisses tournées vers l’horizon marin.

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 Painsec Junction 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.
