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 Petit-Cap.
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.

Petit-Cap is a locality in Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Petit-Cap is located at 46.1920°N, 64.1610°W.
Petit-Cap clings to the edge of the Atlantic coast, where the horizon dissolves into the salt-heavy air and the land rises toward the silhouette of Uniacke Hill. It lies 16.8 km north-north-west of Strait Shores, NB (from Strait Shores, NB: bearing 340°T), and is situated 8.9 km east-south-east of Cap-Acadie. The terrain here holds a stark, salt-washed clarity, with the Gaspereau River winding its course about 8 km away and the quiet basin of Niles Lake resting approximately 7 km inland. At dusk, the light loses its sharpness, turning the coastal grasses into a bruised violet that catches the cooling breath of the tide. Petit-Cap maintains a character defined by the shifting tides and the persistent, practical labor of the maritime economy. Generations of families have looked to these waters for their livelihood, grounding the identity of Petit-Cap in the seasonal harvest of the sea and the maintenance of sturdy, weather-worn wharves. The pace of life follows the movement of the currents rather than the ticking of a clock, and the local traditions remain centered on the hard-won resilience of those who dwell between the high-water mark and the rising slopes of the interior. Even in the stillness of a winter afternoon, the air carries a sharp, metallic tang that reminds anyone standing on the shore of the proximity of the deep, cold Atlantic.
Petit-Cap s’étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où le souffle salin de la mer sculpte les contours d’une terre résolument acadienne. À proximité, la silhouette de la colline Uniacke domine l’horizon, offrant un repère immuable sous une lumière qui, au crépuscule, teinte les eaux d’un reflet cuivré. La vie s’y déploie avec la patience des marées, dans un rythme dicté par l’industrie de la pêche qui anime les quais et forge l’identité des familles locales. À quelques lieues de là, le cours de la rivière Gaspereau chemine discrètement vers l’estuaire, tandis que le lac Niles repose plus loin dans une quiétude boisée, loin du fracas des vagues. L’air, chargé d’iode et de souvenirs, porte le poids d’une histoire tenace où les traditions se transmettent sans artifice, comme une respiration naturelle. Les maisons, tournées vers le large, semblent guetter les embarcations de Petit-Cap revenant sous les cieux changeants de la région de Westmorland. Ici, le relief s’abaisse doucement vers le rivage, invitant au silence et à la contemplation d’un paysage austère mais vibrant, où chaque sentier raconte la persévérance des gens qui ont choisi de bâtir leur existence face à l’immensité marine.

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.
