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 Strait Shores.
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.

Strait Shores is a rural community in Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Strait Shores is located at 46.0498°N, 64.0871°W.
Strait Shores rests along the Atlantic coast, where the earth yields to the salt-heavy influence of the tides. It lies 26.0 km north-north-east of Amherst, NB (from Amherst, NB: bearing 22°T), and is situated 4.1 km north-north-east of Baie Verte. The land here rises toward the slopes of Uniacke Hill, a quiet elevation that overlooks the winding path of the Gaspereau River as it meets the sea. Throughout the day, the light catches the silvered grasses of the marshes, turning the low-lying plains into a shifting expanse of amber and grey. The air carries a crisp, saline weight, grounding the senses in the steady presence of the water and the ancient, weathered character of the shoreline. The history of Strait Shores reflects a long-standing relationship with the coastal environment, where survival has often depended on the bounty of the nearby currents and the fertility of the riverbanks. Local industry remains tied to the rhythms of the land and sea, with small-scale activities mirroring the traditions of those who first settled these reaches. Residents navigate their days with a focus on the practical necessities of a coastal existence, finding value in the resources provided by the Gaspereau River and the surrounding terrain. While the pace is deliberate, the work of maintaining the infrastructure of the coast requires a constant, watchful attention to the changing tides. Beyond the immediate landscape, the character of Strait Shores is defined by its proximity to notable features like Collins Lake and Tidnish Dock Provincial Park, which serve as quiet anchors for those who live nearby. These places offer a sense of stillness, where the only sound is the rustle of wind through the trees or the distant pull of the Atlantic against the coast. Life in Strait Shores does not rely on grand monuments or famous names, but rather on the persistent beauty of the horizon and the reliable, seasonal return of the migratory birds. The community finds its identity in this simplicity, holding fast to the quiet corners of the coast where the land feels entirely its own.
Strait Shores s’étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où la lumière du crépuscule dépose une patine argentée sur les rives de la rivière Gaspereau. Ce territoire, façonné par les vents marins et le labeur des générations, se déploie à proximité de la colline Uniacke dont le relief domine doucement l'horizon. La vie s'y organise selon le rythme des marées et le souffle salin qui parcourt les terres basses, tandis que le souvenir des ancêtres imprègne chaque geste quotidien des habitants. À huit kilomètres de distance, le parc provincial Tidnish Dock offre un espace de silence face aux eaux vastes, alors que le lac Collins, également distant de huit kilomètres, garde en ses profondeurs la mémoire paisible des terres intérieures. Strait Shores conserve une identité singulière, marquée par un héritage acadien qui persiste dans les noms, les silences et la manière dont les maisons se tournent vers le large. Ici, l'économie puise sa force dans une relation directe avec la terre et les courants, forgeant un caractère tenace chez ceux qui cultivent ces sols fertiles. La présence constante de la rivière Gaspereau structure le paysage, reliant les habitations entre elles par un courant lent et méthodique qui semble porter en lui toute l'histoire invisible de la région.

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 Strait Shores 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.
