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 Patterson.
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.

Patterson is a locality in Sunbury, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Patterson is located at 45.5521°N, 66.5344°W.
Patterson sits low against the earth, a quiet collection of forest and stone tucked into the rugged interior of Sunbury. It lies 31.2 km south of Sunbury-York South, NB (from Sunbury-York South, NB: bearing 187°T), and is situated 13.8 km south-south-east of Fredericton Junction. The terrain here holds the weight of the ancient bedrock, marked most notably by the presence of Bailey Rock, which anchors the landscape with its stubborn, grey permanence. Light lingers in the hollows at dusk, turning the pine needles into thin needles of copper against the darkening loam. While the Oromocto River flows with steady purpose some eleven kilometers away, the immediate surroundings of Patterson feel sequestered, defined by the stillness of the woods rather than the rush of currents. Nearby, Wirral Lake offers a glassy expanse about eight kilometers distant, and the sudden, sharp descent of South Branch Falls lies roughly the same distance away, providing a hidden music that carries through the damp air when the wind shifts just so. The history of Patterson is marked by the persistent labor of those who cleared the timber and worked the rocky soil to carve out a living. Industry here has always been a conversation between the hand and the tree, with the local economy relying on the quiet extraction and management of the surrounding woodlands. Life in Patterson moves with the turning of the seasons, as the frost settles early and the spring thaw brings a sudden, muddy urgency to the tracks and trails. There is a particular clarity to the mornings here, where the fog clings to the low-lying brush like wool, and the people of Patterson maintain a steady, private diligence in their daily chores. This is a landscape that demands attention to detail, rewarding those who recognize the subtle changes in the weather and the slow, deliberate growth of the forest around them.
Patterson se déploie dans une quiétude singulière, là où la terre du Nouveau-Brunswick semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière de fin de journée qui étire les ombres contre les roches massives de Bailey Rock. La rudesse du terrain, façonnée par une histoire de labeur et de bois, imprime aux heures une lenteur presque tangible, comme si chaque geste quotidien s'ajustait au rythme secret de la nature environnante. À huit kilomètres, les chutes South Branch murmurent une mélodie constante, tandis que le lac Wirral, plus loin, offre un miroir d'argent aux ciels changeants de la région. La rivière Oromocto, serpentant à onze kilomètres de là, porte en ses eaux le souvenir des passages anciens et des premières installations qui ont permis à Patterson de s'inscrire dans ce relief forestier. L'air, chargé d'une humidité légère et du parfum des conifères, enveloppe les habitations d'une sobriété héritée des générations ayant domestiqué ces espaces sauvages. Ici, la vie ne cherche pas l'éclat, préférant la constance des jours qui se ressemblent sans jamais être identiques, dans cet équilibre fragile entre la roche sombre et les cours d'eau qui tracent, dans le silence, la véritable géographie de l'existence.

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 Patterson 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.
