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 Point de Bute.
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.

Point de Bute is a locality in Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a town. Point de Bute is located at 45.9006°N, 64.2419°W.
Point de Bute rests upon the Atlantic coast, defined by the firm, rising contours of the Fort Cumberland Ridge. It lies 7.8 km north-north-west of Amherst, NB (from Amherst, NB: bearing 343°T), and is situated 11.3 km east of Sackville. The land here carries a heavy, salt-touched air that clings to the grasses, and when the sun begins its descent, the horizon softens into shades of bruised plum and amber. The Aulac River carves a quiet path through the lowlands, its movement barely perceptible as it reflects the vast, open sky above the marshes. Weatherhead Lake sits just five kilometers away, a secluded basin that holds the stillness of the landscape like a mirror, undisturbed by the push and pull of the nearby tides. Life in Point de Bute moves with the steady, practical diligence of those who understand the temper of the coast. The local economy finds its roots in the stubborn vitality of the earth and the influence of the surrounding waters, supporting a way of life that values resilience over haste. Historically, the area has served as a sentinel along the ridge, looking out over the water where the land meets the sea in a long, unbroken reach. Even now, the daily routines of the people reflect a deep familiarity with the changing seasons, marked by the arrival of migratory birds and the shifting colors of the fields that stretch toward the horizon.
Point de Bute s'étire avec une patience minérale sur la côte atlantique, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de se laisser submerger par les marées. Établi sur la crête Fort Cumberland, ce sol garde en mémoire les soubresauts d'une histoire frontalière agitée, marquée par le passage des hommes qui, dès les premiers temps, ont su lire la géographie changeante de ces rives. La rivière Aulac serpente à proximité, dessinant des méandres boueux qui dictent encore le rythme des travaux agricoles, tandis que le vent salin balaie les champs avec une régularité presque cérémonieuse. À une distance de cinq kilomètres, le lac Weatherhead demeure un miroir paisible, figé dans une immobilité qui contraste avec l'agitation des eaux saumâtres alentour. Les habitants de Point de Bute vivent dans ce dialogue constant avec les éléments, cultivant une terre héritée des premiers colons qui ont bravé l'isolement des marais. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule se fragmente sur les hautes herbes, révélant une austérité magnifique où chaque clôture et chaque chemin tracé témoignent d'une persévérance silencieuse. La rudesse du climat forge une identité résiliente, ancrée dans la réalité physique d'un territoire qui ne se donne jamais tout à fait, préférant garder ses secrets sous l'immensité grise du ciel maritime.

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.
