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 Porten Settlement.
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.

Porten Settlement is a locality in Carleton, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Porten Settlement is located at 45.9551°N, 67.5327°W.
Porten Settlement occupies a quiet rise within the Meductic Hill, where the land holds the cool, damp breath of the Eel River. It lies 8.7 km north-west of Lakeland Ridges, NB (from Lakeland Ridges, NB: bearing 321°T), and is situated 8.9 km north-west of Canterbury. The terrain here gathers itself into slopes that catch the low, amber light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the fields. Only two kilometers away, the descent of Risteen Falls provides a constant, low-frequency pulse that defines the local soundscape, while the broader, hushed expanse of Little Mud Lake sits seven kilometers to the distance, reflecting the shifting grey of the northern sky. Hard work and the persistence of the seasons define the life of Porten Settlement, where the economy has long leaned upon the timber and the soil. Families have built their homes near the Eel River, marking their days by the cycles of growth and harvest that have sustained the region for generations. Beyond the immediate clearings, the wilderness remains vast and largely untouched, with the distant Réserve de la faune du Club Kindness reaching out twenty-five kilometers toward the horizon. The character of the people here is as sturdy as the hills they inhabit, rooted in a quiet endurance that asks little of the world beyond their own borders. Life moves with the deliberate pace of a season turning, anchored by the reliable presence of the water and the enduring stillness of the woods.
Porten Settlement s'étire avec une humilité silencieuse sur les pentes de la colline Meductic, là où le sol semble retenir encore le souvenir des labours anciens. Le regard porte loin sur les rives de la rivière Eel, dont le courant lent dicte le rythme des journées, loin du tumulte des cités. À deux kilomètres de là, les chutes Risteen découpent l'air d'un murmure constant, une ponctuation sonore qui accompagne le travail des hommes et le lent mûrissement des récoltes. Le paysage s'ouvre généreusement, offrant à Porten Settlement une lumière de fin de journée qui baigne les champs d'une clarté dorée, presque tangible. À environ sept kilomètres, le lac Little Mud dort sous une brume légère, tandis qu’à vingt-cinq kilomètres, la Réserve de la faune du Club Kindness préserve une quiétude sauvage, prolongement naturel des bois environnants. Ici, le quotidien se mesure à l'épaisseur de la terre et à la patience requise par une vie tournée vers la subsistance et le respect des cycles naturels. Chaque maison, chaque sentier, semble appartenir à cette géographie exigeante qui façonne les gestes, conférant aux habitants une endurance héritée des traditions agricoles. Dans ce repli du Nouveau-Brunswick, la terre n'est pas seulement un support, elle est une compagne austère mais fidèle, révélant sa beauté nue à ceux qui acceptent d'en écouter le silence.

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 Porten Settlement 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.
