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 Richardson.
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.

Richardson is a locality in Charlotte, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Richardson is located at 44.9932°N, 66.9476°W.
Richardson rests upon the rugged, salt-sprayed edge of the Atlantic coast, anchored firmly within the rise of Tomcat Hill. It lies 18.2 km south-south-west of Eastern Charlotte, NB (from Eastern Charlotte, NB: bearing 213°T), and is situated 14.7 km west-south-west of Blacks Harbour. The air here holds a persistent, bracing dampness that clings to the spruce needles and granite outcroppings, a reminder of the proximity to the sea. Inland, the terrain softens toward the quiet basin of Leonards Lake, where the water often mirrors the bruised purples and greys of a maritime dusk. Further afield, the landscape reaches toward the distant flow of the Magaguadavic River, while the salt-bitten cliffs of Herring Cove Provincial Park guard the coastline, and the mist-shrouded descent of First Falls marks the wilder reaches of the horizon. Life in Richardson persists with a stoic, quiet clarity, shaped by the cycles of the tides and the long, slow turn of the seasons. Residents maintain a deep familiarity with the shifting moods of the coast, finding purpose in the seasonal rhythms that have long defined labor and livelihood in this corner of the world. The legacy of those who first inhabited this shore lingers in the way the land is navigated, favoring footpaths and old clearings over the intrusion of heavy industry. In Richardson, the day ends not with the frantic pace of the modern world, but with the steady, rhythmic pulse of the Atlantic tide pressing against the rocks of Tomcat Hill, settling the earth into a profound and heavy silence.
Richardson s’étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où la terre délaisse sa rudesse pour épouser le souffle salin des marées. Perché sur les pentes de la colline Tomcat, Richardson observe le mouvement des eaux avec une patience héritée des travailleurs qui, autrefois, tiraient leur subsistance de la forêt et des rivages. À quelques kilomètres de là, le lac Leonards offre une étendue d’eau calme, un miroir sombre qui attire le regard loin du tumulte des vagues. Le paysage environnant, marqué par les méandres de la rivière Magaguadavic et la proximité des chutes First, impose une cadence lente aux journées qui s'étirent. Parfois, le vent transporte l’humidité venue du parc provincial Herring Cove, imprégnant l'air d'une fraîcheur marine qui enveloppe les maisons et les sentiers. Les habitants connaissent le poids de ces éléments, la manière dont le crépuscule dépose une lumière dorée sur les roches et les arbres. Il existe une noblesse silencieuse dans cette géographie austère, une permanence qui se manifeste dans la solidité des structures et dans la façon dont chacun s'ajuste aux caprices de la météo. La vie quotidienne se déroule ici avec la simplicité de ceux qui habitent un territoire exigeant, trouvant dans l'immensité de la côte une forme de liberté.

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 Richardson 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.
