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 Saint-Athanase.
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.

Saint-Athanase is a locality in Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Athanase is located at 46.7290°N, 65.4001°W.
Saint-Athanase rests within a quiet expanse of New Brunswick where the land rises slightly toward the feature known as The Horseback. It lies 31.0 km south of Miramichi, NB (from Miramichi, NB: bearing 171°T), and is situated 10.2 km west of Acadieville. The Kouchibouguac River winds through the lower reaches some 6 km away, its presence felt in the cool, damp air that settles over the fields as the sun dips below the horizon. Further inland, the waters of North Branch Lake wait roughly 11 km distant, reflecting the vast, shifting sky that dominates this open terrain. To the east, the protected wild reaches of Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac lie 35 km away, acting as a distant anchor for the local wilderness. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar clarity, turning the grasses to shades of pale copper and sharpening the silhouette of every tree against the darkening blue. Life in Saint-Athanase reflects the persistence of those who have long worked this earth, balancing the requirements of local forestry and small-scale agriculture against the changing seasons. The daily habits of the people turn on the seasonal shifts of the climate, where the biting frost of winter gives way to a rapid, verdant spring. Generations have observed how the frost clings to the low hollows long after the hills have thawed, a reminder of the raw, unyielding nature of the northern climate. While industry has moved with the times, the persistent connection to the land defines the character of the residents, who move through their tasks with a steady, deliberate focus. Even the local architecture keeps a low profile, built to withstand the winds that sweep across the open ground and carry the scent of pine and damp soil.
Saint-Athanase déploie ses terres modestes et silencieuses sous une lumière qui semble stagner dans les creux des vallons, là où le sol garde la mémoire des labours anciens. À proximité de The Horseback, le relief s'étire en ondulations discrètes, offrant aux regards une perspective de bois et de clairières typiques de cette contrée du Nouveau-Brunswick. La rivière Kouchibouguac chemine à travers les tourbières et les sous-bois à environ six kilomètres, imposant un rythme lent aux terres qui l'entourent. Plus loin, à une distance de onze kilomètres, le lac North Branch retient les reflets changeants du ciel, tandis que le Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac se dessine à trente-cinq kilomètres, marquant la limite où les vents marins viennent essouffler la végétation. Saint-Athanase cultive une existence tournée vers les saisons de la terre, où les habitants entretiennent des héritages agricoles transmis avec une pudeur toute acadienne. Le vent, souvent chargé d'humidité, balaie les étendues plates, soulignant la rudesse naturelle de ce secteur rural. Ici, chaque bâtisse semble posée sur le sol avec la certitude de ceux qui connaissent le gel profond et la courte clémence des étés. La vie quotidienne, rythmée par les cycles de la terre, demeure fidèle à une simplicité qui refuse les artifices, préférant la constance des champs et le murmure des eaux proches.

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 Saint-Athanase 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.
