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 Rough Waters.
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.

Rough Waters is a locality in Gloucester, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rough Waters is located at 47.5897°N, 65.6412°W.
Rough Waters sits tucked along the Atlantic coast, where the persistent breath of the sea meets the steady, dark currents of the Nepisiguit River. It lies 4.2 km south-south-west of Bathurst, NB (from Bathurst, NB: bearing 193°T), and is situated 13.2 km south-south-east of Belle-Baie. The landscape here is defined by the elevation of the College Hill, a rise that offers a vantage point over the shifting tides and the low-lying reaches of the shoreline. Nearby, the water finds a different pace at Boucher Falls, where the river narrows and descends with a constant, cooling hum that carries through the humid air of late summer afternoons. Further inland, the stillness of Pabineau Lake rests in the distance, providing a quiet counterpoint to the salt-tinged gusts that move across the terrain. The identity of Rough Waters remains tied to the cycles of the river and the labor that once sought sustenance from the surrounding wilderness. Generations have navigated the local currents, finding a livelihood in the seasonal rhythms of harvest and trade that define the character of the northern coast. While the modern pace of life has settled into a steady hum, the local connection to the land and the waterways persists in the quiet rituals of those who reside on the slopes of the College Hill. Even as the seasons turn and the light grows long and amber over the Nepisiguit River, Rough Waters holds its own, anchored by the enduring presence of the water and the rising ground.
Rough Waters s'étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où le souffle salin de l'océan rencontre la terre ferme de la colline College. Sur ces rives de la rivière Nepisiguit, la lumière déclinante du soir dépose une patine cuivrée sur les eaux qui poursuivent leur marche inlassable vers le large. À quelques lieues de là, les chutes Boucher grondent dans une solitude minérale, tandis que le lac Pabineau demeure, dans le silence de ses profondeurs, un miroir sombre sous le ciel changeant de la péninsule. L'existence à Rough Waters se règle sur ce mouvement lent des marées et sur la patience des terres agricoles qui entourent les habitations. Les familles y cultivent un lien indéfectible avec le sol, héritage de générations qui ont su lire les signes de la nature pour subsister. Ici, l'air porte une fraîcheur vive, celle qui annonce les longs hivers tout en célébrant la persistance de la vie. Les maisons, tournées vers l'est, accueillent les premières lueurs de l'aube avec une simplicité rigoureuse, presque austère, qui définit la droiture de ses habitants. Chaque sentier qui serpente entre la végétation et les rochers révèle la rudesse d'un cadre où la géographie impose son rythme aux activités humaines, façonnant une identité forgée par la proximité constante avec les éléments.

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 Rough Waters 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.
