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-Jacques.
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-Jacques is a urban community in Madawaska, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Jacques is located at 47.4326°N, 68.3873°W.
Saint-Jacques rests where the land leans toward the Rivière Madawaska, a quiet sentinel nestled near the Côte à Blanchette. It lies 9.3 km north-west of Edmundston, NB (from Edmundston, NB: bearing 311°T), and is situated 15.8 km north of St. Hilaire. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, especially as the late afternoon light catches the slopes of the Côte à Blanchette, turning the fields into long stretches of amber and deep shadow. Beyond the immediate reach of Saint-Jacques, the wilderness maintains its own deliberate pace, with Petit lac Saint-Jean resting in the distance and the rushing water of Second Falls marking the rugged character of the surrounding terrain. Life in Saint-Jacques follows the steady, predictable pulse of the seasons, shaped by a history of hard work and the persistence of those who first cleared this ground. The local economy draws its strength from the earth and the timber, with generations having built their livelihoods upon the resources provided by the valley. Within the quietude of the day, one might hear the faint, insistent hum of the Rivière Madawaska, a constant reminder of the waterways that have long defined the movement and survival of the people. Cultural traditions remain deeply held, passed down through families who find a particular pride in the endurance of Saint-Jacques, ensuring that the legacy of this place persists long after the sun dips behind the distant ridges.
Saint-Jacques déploie ses habitations sur les terres fertiles qui bordent la Rivière Madawaska, où le courant semble retenir les échos d'une colonisation acadienne patiente et tenace. La lumière du crépuscule s'étire doucement sur la Côte à Blanchette, transformant les champs en une étendue cuivrée tandis que l'air se rafraîchit, imprégné de l'humidité montante du cours d'eau. À une dizaine de kilomètres, le Petit lac Saint-Jean dort dans un calme minéral, tandis que le fracas lointain des chutes Second ponctue le silence des bois environnants d'une cadence immuable. Ici, le labeur des générations se lit dans la rectitude des clôtures et la solidité des granges, héritage d'une économie longtemps liée à la terre et à la forêt. Les habitants de Saint-Jacques entretiennent une relation intime avec cette topographie vallonnée, façonnée par les glaciations anciennes et le passage lent des eaux. En observant l'horizon, le regard saisit la simplicité d'un paysage où le ciel semble descendre pour effleurer les cimes des arbres, offrant à chaque journée une dignité sobre. Cette contrée, loin des tumultes urbains, conserve une identité singulière, portée par le murmure constant de la Rivière Madawaska et la présence rassurante des reliefs qui entourent ses foyers.

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-Jacques 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.
