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 Pont-Lafrance.
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.

Pont-Lafrance is a locality in Gloucester, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Pont-Lafrance is located at 47.4424°N, 64.9795°W.
Pont-Lafrance rests quietly upon the Atlantic coast, where the firm earth meets the salt-heavy breath of the northern tides. It lies 9.3 km south-south-west of Tracadie-Sheila, NB (from Tracadie-Sheila, NB: bearing 210°T), and is situated 12.7 km north-north-east of Alnwick. The Big Tracadie River winds through the low-lying terrain, its dark currents carrying the chill of the interior toward the open sea, while the surface of The Lake lies undisturbed in the distance, a mirror for the shifting coastal clouds. Here, the light of dusk possesses a peculiar, pearlescent quality that softens the edges of the spruce trees and grants the horizon a transient, silvery depth. The history of Pont-Lafrance echoes the endurance of those who first sought purchase along these shifting riverbanks, drawing their livelihood from the bounty of the Atlantic waters and the dense, resilient timber of the surrounding woods. Life in Pont-Lafrance follows the turning of the seasons, shaped by the practical demands of a regional economy rooted in the raw gifts of the land and the persistence of its people. Whether tending to the seasonal harvest or navigating the complexities of the modern coastal trade, the inhabitants maintain a quiet focus, finding a distinct beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the Big Tracadie River before the day fully awakens.
Pont-Lafrance s'étire le long des rives de la rivière Big Tracadie, là où l'air marin de la côte atlantique imprègne chaque fibre du paysage acadien de Gloucester. La lumière déclinante y sculpte des ombres allongées sur les terres basses, révélant une quiétude que seul le murmure du courant vient interrompre. À quelques kilomètres, les eaux du lac The semblent retenir le souffle du ciel, offrant un miroir immobile au milieu des boisés qui entourent les habitations. Ici, le quotidien se mesure aux travaux de la terre et à la présence constante de cet horizon salin qui définit l'existence des familles établies depuis des générations. Le sol, travaillé avec une patience héritée, porte la trace d'une économie forgée par les ressources du littoral et l'exploitation forestière, piliers discrets de la subsistance locale. En observant les habitations qui ponctuent les routes sinueuses, on saisit l'attachement viscéral des habitants pour ces espaces ouverts, où la rudesse du climat n'altère jamais la chaleur des échanges. Pont-Lafrance demeure ce lieu singulier où le rythme des marées dicte une temporalité propre, loin de l'agitation, laissant le vent du large raconter les histoires anciennes à ceux qui savent encore écouter le silence entre deux rafales.
