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 Ripples.
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.

Ripples is a locality in Sunbury, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Ripples is located at 45.9936°N, 66.2148°W.
Ripples sits low and quiet against the backdrop of the Oak Point Ridge, where the earth holds the cool, damp breath of the surrounding woods. It lies 14.1 km south-west of Minto, NB (from Minto, NB: bearing 228°T), and is situated 3.8 km south-south-west of Albrights Corner. The Little River traces a path through this terrain, its dark, cedar-stained current moving with a deliberation that seems to slow the very air above the banks. When the light leans low at the end of the day, the shadows of the ridge stretch long and thin, turning the landscape into a study of muted greens and deep, bruised purples. There is a singular stillness here, a kind of heavy, expectant silence that gathers along the water, broken only by the occasional shift of wind through the dense canopy of spruce and pine. The history of Ripples remains tied to the persistent work of those who carved a life from the timber and the soil, their labor marking the land with a modest, enduring persistence. While Indian Lake sits eight kilometers away and the Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area stretches out thirteen kilometers to the east, the daily life of Ripples stays focused on the immediate textures of the ridge and the riverbed. The economy reflects a long-standing reliance on the forest, an industry that requires a certain toughness from those who call the region home. Even now, one catches the scent of pine resin and wet earth in the afternoon breeze, a reminder of the quiet, constant industry that defines the character of the people who remain here, working in harmony with the slow, steady turn of the seasons.
Ripples s'étire avec une humilité certaine sur le sol de la crête Oak Point, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant de s'incliner vers les eaux calmes de la rivière Little. Dans ce secteur du Nouveau-Brunswick, la lumière du crépuscule s'attarde sur les boisés, révélant une topographie marquée par l'héritage de l'industrie charbonnière qui a longtemps dicté le rythme des jours. Le paysage se déploie dans une quiétude immense, ponctuée par la proximité du lac Indian, situé à huit kilomètres de là, et par l'étendue sauvage de Portobello Creek National Wildlife Area, à treize kilomètres, zones où la nature reprend ses droits avec une lenteur souveraine. Ripples conserve cette texture particulière des lieux qui ont connu l'effort et le labeur, une simplicité austère que le vent souligne en traversant les plaines basses. Ici, la vie se mesure à l'immobilité des chemins de terre et à la présence constante de la rivière Little, dont le cours sinueux accompagne la mémoire des anciens travailleurs. Les habitants habitués à ce relief bas voient passer les heures sans artifice, dans le silence d'une contrée qui ne cherche pas à séduire, mais qui offre, à qui sait regarder, la noblesse brute d'une terre encore imprégnée de son passé industriel.

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 Ripples 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.
