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 Rees.
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.

Rees is a locality in Queens, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rees is located at 45.9808°N, 65.9884°W.
Rees rests upon the quiet, low-lying margins of Grand Lake, where the earth yields gradually to the water’s edge beneath the looming shadow of the Cumberland Bay Hill. It lies 12.8 km south-south-east of Minto, NB (from Minto, NB: bearing 147°T), and is situated 11.3 km west-south-west of Cumberland Bay. The air here carries a persistent dampness, a heavy sweetness of cedar and silt that clings to the skin as the sun dips behind the rise, turning the surface of the lake into a sheet of hammered copper. Nearby, the Grand Lake Little River carves a narrow, winding path through the brush, its presence marked only by the sudden, sharp chorus of frogs when the wind dies down. The terrain feels ancient and heavy, shaped by the weight of the water that dominates the horizon and dictates the slow, deliberate pace of the land. Life in Rees persists in the quiet echoes of a rural economy, where the memory of coal extraction and timber work lingers in the weathered siding of older barns and the rusted remnants of farm machinery. While the Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area draws those who seek the solitude of the marshes, the people of Rees maintain a singular focus on the seasonal shifts of the lake, preparing for the ice that eventually binds the docks. Traditions here are kept in the small, private gestures of neighbors sharing the yield of a garden or the haul of a fishing net, far removed from the clamor of the outside world. Rees exists not as a destination for the hurried, but as a place where the light lingers on the shoreline, demanding only that one watch the water rise and fall.
Rees déploie ses modestes habitations sur les rives apaisées du lac Grand, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s’attarder sur les herbes hautes. À proximité de la colline Cumberland Bay, le terrain s’incline doucement vers l’eau, offrant un panorama où la terre rencontre l’immensité liquide dans un silence presque religieux. La rivière Grand Lake Little serpente dans les environs, apportant une fraîcheur humide qui imprègne les jardins et les vergers hérités d’une longue tradition agricole. Plus loin, vers le sud, la Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area protège un sanctuaire naturel dont le souffle sauvage parvient jusqu’aux portes de Rees, modifiant la qualité de l’air selon la direction des vents. Les habitants observent le rythme discret de la nature, une existence rythmée par la montée des eaux et le passage des migrateurs dans les terres basses environnantes. Ici, les gestes quotidiens conservent une lenteur précieuse, dictée par la géographie particulière de ce secteur de Queens. La présence du lac Grand domine l’horizon, agissant comme un miroir changeant qui capte les reflets argentés de l’aube et les teintes cuivrées du crépuscule, offrant à ceux qui habitent Rees une perspective constante sur la beauté austère et paisible de ce territoire.

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.
Location data for Rees 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.
