Explore South Bay, New Brunswick, Canada, with this interactive street and satellite map. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above the map to switch views. You can “grab” the map and drag it to re-centre it, or use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours — plus shaded relief, a labelled UTM grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for South Bay, 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 South Bay 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 South Bay.
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.

South Bay is a suburban community in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. South Bay is located at 45.2550°N, 66.1447°W.
South Bay rests along the Atlantic coast, cradled by the steady elevation of Nowland Hill and the persistent, tidal presence of the Saint John River. It lies 8.3 km west of Saint John, NB (from Saint John, NB: bearing 267°T), and is situated 13.7 km west-north-west of Rocky Corner. The terrain here holds a quiet gravity, where the low light of late afternoon catches the water’s surface, turning the river into a ribbon of hammered silver that pulls the eye toward the horizon. Red Bridge Lake sits tucked in the nearby woods, offering a stillness that contrasts with the churning power of the Reversing Falls, which churns just a short distance away. The land possesses a rugged, honest posture, defined by the meeting of high ground and cold, deep water. Life in South Bay moves in alignment with the river’s pulse, reflecting a history shaped by the maritime commerce that once defined the entire reach of the Saint John River. While the industry of the past has altered, the identity of South Bay remains fixed to the movement of the tides and the seasonal shifts that dictate the local pace. Residents often travel toward Parc provincial des chutes Lepreau to find a deeper quiet among the trees, yet they always return to the familiar shoreline where the wind carries the sharp, clean scent of salt and silt. Here, the work of the day is done against a backdrop of enduring stone and water, maintaining a character that values the permanence of the landscape over the noise of the modern world.
South Bay s'étire le long des rives de la rivière Saint John, là où la brume marine s'attarde sur les pentes de la colline Nowland avec une langueur presque méditative. Dans ce relief façonné par les vents de la côte atlantique, la lumière déclinante du soir enveloppe les habitations d'une teinte cuivrée, révélant la texture minérale des sols et l'élégance sobre des structures qui ponctuent le versant. À quelques kilomètres, le tumulte des chutes Reversing rappelle la puissance indomptable des marées, tandis que le calme du lac Red Bridge, niché à proximité, offre un contraste de quiétude absolue aux habitants. Le paysage, marqué par une rudesse élégante, porte en lui les échos des activités forestières et portuaires qui ont longtemps rythmé l'existence des familles locales. Plus loin, vers l'ouest, le Parc provincial des chutes Lepreau déploie ses sentiers dans une nature sauvage que le temps semble avoir épargnée. Chaque jour, South Bay observe le flux ininterrompu de la rivière, cette artère vitale qui charrie les souvenirs de générations ayant bâti leur foyer sur ces terres escarpées, entre l'horizon infini de l'Atlantique et la solidité silencieuse de la roche.

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 South Bay 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.
