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 Rexton.
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.

Rexton is a urban community in Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a town. Rexton is located at 46.6429°N, 64.8714°W.
Rexton rests upon the Atlantic coast, cradled by the quiet elevation of the Galloway Hill. It lies 3.2 km south of Beaurivage, NB (from Beaurivage, NB: bearing 185°T), and is situated 10.8 km north-east of Big Cove. The landscape holds a stillness that gathers in the hollows, where the air tastes of salt and the damp earth of the surrounding woods. To the north, the expanse of Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac stretches toward the horizon, while the Richibucto River winds its path seven kilometers away, pulling the light of the morning across the low-lying fields. Nearby, the surface of Geddes Lake mirrors the shifting gray of the sky, offering a calm anchor to the terrain. In the late afternoon, the sun catches the edges of the grasses with a fleeting, amber clarity, turning the mundane fences and weathered timber into objects of sudden, sharp focus. The history of Rexton anchors itself in the maritime traditions of the coast, where the livelihood of families once turned toward the sea and the timber trade. Industry here has always moved with the seasons, shifting from the harvest of the woods to the quiet persistence of local commerce. While the influence of Andrew Bonar Law, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and spent his early years here, lingers in the local identity, the pulse of Rexton beats most strongly in the daily habits of its residents. The pace is defined by the work of hands and the long, slow turn of the tides, grounding the people in a geography that demands both patience and respect. When the wind moves off the water, it carries a sharp, clean clarity that settles over the rooftops, reminding anyone who lingers that the land remains in constant, quiet dialogue with the Atlantic.
Rexton s'étire avec une simplicité austère sur les reliefs de la colline Galloway, là où l'air marin de la côte atlantique vient caresser les terres du Nouveau-Brunswick. La lumière du soir y possède une clarté particulière, découpant les silhouettes des édifices historiques qui rappellent l'héritage des bâtisseurs venus d'Écosse et d'ailleurs pour façonner ce sol. À sept kilomètres de là, la rivière Richibucto serpente vers l'estuaire, tandis que le lac Geddes offre un miroir immobile sous le ciel immense, rappelant la présence constante d'une nature qui domine les activités humaines. Plus loin, vers le nord, le Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac protège les étendues sauvages où la forêt se mêle aux dunes et aux marais salants. Rexton maintient son rythme propre, marqué par les cycles de l'industrie forestière et agricole qui ont longtemps soutenu ses foyers. Les habitants vivent en harmonie avec cette géographie façonnée par les vents, trouvant dans l'isolement relatif de la colline Galloway une forme de dignité tranquille. Chaque rue de Rexton semble répondre à l'appel de l'eau, que ce soit par le souffle salin qui remonte des rivages proches ou par le calme profond des terres intérieures, offrant une existence où le labeur quotidien se mesure à l'immensité du paysage maritime.
