This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Shannon, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of New Brunswick or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Shannon and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Shannon.
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.

Shannon is a locality in Queens, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Shannon is located at 45.7000°N, 65.9833°W.
Shannon sits cradled within the rugged expanse of the Bald Hill, where the land rises in quiet, stony defiance against the horizon. It lies 14.3 km south of Arcadia, NB (from Arcadia, NB: bearing 188°T), and is situated 12.5 km south of Cambridge-Narrows. The air here holds a crisp, earthen clarity, especially as the late afternoon light catches the slopes and turns the dry grasses to the color of tarnished copper. Only two kilometers away, the stillness of Cranberry Lake offers a mirror to the surrounding woods, its surface undisturbed save for the occasional ripple of a rising fish or the drift of a passing shadow. The terrain is marked by a persistent, ancient endurance, where the earth seems to hold its breath beneath the weight of the sky. Life in Shannon has long been defined by the stubborn vitality of the woods and the slow, deliberate work of those who know the timber and the soil. While the Saint John River flows eight kilometers to the west, acting as a distant pulse for the wider region, the day-to-day existence here remains focused on the immediate, tangible demands of the hill country. The economy has historically turned on the turning of the seasons, with families carving out a livelihood from the forest and the small clearings that cling to the uneven ground. Even now, the silence that settles over the ridges at dusk possesses a singular depth, suggesting a history of effort and isolation that lingers long after the sun has vanished behind the crest of the Bald Hill.
Shannon s’étire avec une humilité silencieuse sur les pentes douces de la colline Bald, là où la terre semble retenir le souffle des matins brumeux. Dans ce repli du Nouveau-Brunswick, le relief s’incline vers le lac Cranberry, dont les eaux immobiles recueillent, à l’heure où le soleil décline, les reflets cuivrés d’un ciel changeant. À quelques kilomètres seulement, la rivière Saint John poursuit son cours majestueux, dictant par ses humeurs le rythme lent d’une existence façonnée par le travail de la terre et la patience des saisons. La texture du sol, riche et propice aux cultures, rappelle les efforts des premiers colons venus défricher ces terres pour y établir des foyers durables. Les demeures de Shannon se fondent parmi les boisés, observant sans hâte le passage des heures sous une lumière qui, en fin de journée, nimbe les crêtes d’une clarté presque irréelle. Ici, le silence n’est jamais vide ; il est habité par le murmure du vent dans les feuillages et le souvenir des labeurs qui ont bâti ce cadre singulier. Loin de l’agitation, chaque sentier et chaque clairière racontent une histoire faite de persévérance, d’attachement au sol natal et d’une harmonie discrète avec la géographie austère mais bienveillante de la colline Bald.

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 Shannon 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.
