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-Shippagan.
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-Shippagan is a locality in Gloucester, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Petit-Shippagan is located at 47.8799°N, 64.5884°W.
Petit-Shippagan rests quietly along the Atlantic coast, where the horizon meets the edge of a rugged, salt-sprayed New Brunswick landscape. It lies 10.5 km north-north-east of Île-de-Lamèque, NB (from Île-de-Lamèque, NB: bearing 25°T), and is situated 7.1 km south-south-west of Miscou Centre. The air here carries a sharp, brine-heavy clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of every stone and blade of grass, especially as the low sun pulls long, amber shadows across the marshy ground. Inland, the terrain holds a steady, grounded persistence, eventually giving way to the quiet flow of the Campbells River. About 6 km away, the stillness of Goose Lake offers a counterpoint to the restless movement of the nearby tides, its surface often mirroring the pale, shifting clouds that define the maritime sky. The history of Petit-Shippagan remains tied to the sea, reflecting a long-standing reliance on the bounty of the Atlantic waters that shape the local economy. Life here moves according to the demands of the tides and the seasonal shifts of the coast, maintaining a character defined by hard-won resilience and a deep familiarity with the elements. Residents carry on traditions born of coastal necessity, finding value in the simple, repetitive labor of maintaining nets and boats against the persistent wind. In the quiet moments between the working hours, the identity of Petit-Shippagan emerges not from grand gestures, but from the steady endurance of those who have built their lives within sight of the gray-blue surf.
Petit-Shippagan s'éveille chaque matin sous une lumière saline qui semble polir les rives de la rivière Campbells, là où l'eau sombre rencontre les terres basses de la péninsule. Dans ce coin de la région de Gloucester, le vent marin façonne le quotidien, portant avec lui le sel des marées et le souvenir des familles acadiennes qui ont fait de ces rivages leur foyer durable. À quelques lieues de là, le lac Goose conserve un calme minéral, miroir immobile reflétant les ciels changeants qui surmontent ce relief plat et ouvert. Petit-Shippagan vit au rythme de ses habitants, dont les mains connaissent le travail du bois et les secrets de la pêche, héritage modeste mais tenace d'une existence tournée vers l'horizon atlantique. Ici, les maisons se serrent comme pour se protéger des souffles vigoureux, tandis que les sentiers qui bordent la rivière Campbells tracent des chemins familiers à ceux qui connaissent chaque pli de ce sol. Il existe une sobriété particulière dans la manière dont les jours s'écoulent, une lenteur qui n'est pas paresse, mais une attention constante portée aux signes de la nature. La présence du lac Goose, à six kilomètres, ponctue cet espace d'une solitude douce, rappelant aux passants que le paysage demeure le véritable maître de cette terre façonnée par l'embrun et la patience.
