This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Rivière-du-Nord, New Brunswick. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Rivière-du-Nord.
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.

Rivière-du-Nord is a town in Gloucester, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Rivière-du-Nord is located at 47.8152°N, 65.1726°W.
Rivière-du-Nord rests quietly against the edge of the Atlantic coast, where the salt-heavy air clings to the low-lying terrain. It lies 17.5 km west-north-west of Caraquet, NB (from Caraquet, NB: bearing 288°T), and is situated 6.9 km west-south-west of Anse-Bleue. The landscape around Rivière-du-Nord holds a certain rugged stillness, defined by the proximity of the Pokeshaw River which flows some 7 km away, its waters carving a path toward the sea. Further inland, the stillness deepens near Goose Lake, located approximately 13 km from the coast, where the light at dusk settles in long, bruised purples over the water’s surface. The land here feels exposed to the elements, shaped by the push and pull of coastal tides and the persistent, bracing winds that sweep across the shoreline. The history of Rivière-du-Nord is tied to the industry of the sea and the modest yields of the surrounding earth, which have sustained generations through lean and bountiful years alike. Economic life here has often looked toward the harvest of the Atlantic, with the local rhythm dictated by the seasonal requirements of maritime work and the quiet demands of small-scale forestry. The people of Rivière-du-Nord have long relied on these traditional trades, finding stability in the reliable cycles of the coastline. Even as modern patterns shift, the labor of the day remains rooted in the practical necessities of a geography that demands patience and a steady hand. Cultural identity in Rivière-du-Nord is preserved in the private, daily habits of those who call the coast home, where local traditions are passed down through quiet observation rather than grand ceremony. The character of the people reflects a stoic appreciation for their surroundings, favoring the company of the wind and the horizon over the noise of distant centers. There is a particular clarity to the mornings here, when the fog lifts to reveal the sharp, clean lines of the coast, reminding any onlooker of the permanence of the natural world. Daily life in Rivière-du-Nord moves with a deliberate, grounded focus, reflecting the enduring spirit of a population that finds enough meaning in the horizon and the steady, rhythmic pulse of the nearby tides.
Rivière-du-Nord s'étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où l'air marin chargé de sel façonne le caractère robuste des habitants. Le paysage s'organise autour d'un relief qui semble guetter l'horizon, marqué par la présence toute proche de la rivière Pokeshaw, dont le cours sinueux scande la terre à sept kilomètres de distance, tandis que les eaux plus calmes du lac Goose se tiennent à treize kilomètres, offrant un contraste de quiétude dans cette étendue ouverte sur l'immensité océanique. Les jours s'y succèdent avec une régularité portée par la pêche et les travaux de la terre, héritage d'une ténacité acadienne qui a su dompter ce littoral exigeant. À Rivière-du-Nord, la lumière du crépuscule dépose sur les champs une teinte cuivrée, révélant la texture du sol et la droiture des maisons qui font face aux vents dominants. L'économie locale, modeste et fière, puise sa force dans ces ressources immédiates, maintenant un équilibre fragile entre la rigueur des éléments et la persévérance de ceux qui occupent cet espace depuis des générations. Chaque souffle de brise marine rappelle la proximité de l'eau, transformant la routine quotidienne en une forme de dialogue silencieux avec la nature brute de la péninsule.

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 Rivière-du-Nord 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.
