Explore The Ridge, 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 The Ridge, 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 The Ridge 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 The Ridge.
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.

The Ridge is a locality in Queens, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. The Ridge is located at 46.1684°N, 65.8237°W.
The Ridge rises with a quiet, persistent authority above the shoreline of Grand Lake, its slopes defined by the shadow of the nearby Wanamaker Ridge. It lies 4.5 km east-south-east of Grand Lake, NB (from Grand Lake, NB: bearing 115°T), and is situated 4.3 km east-south-east of Chipman. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of damp cedar and the cooling expanse of water, especially as the late afternoon light flattens against the trees to reveal the stubborn, rocky geometry of the terrain. While the Salmon River moves through the distant landscape seven kilometres away, the immediate character of The Ridge remains bound to the lake, where the water’s edge serves as a mirror for the changing sky. The land itself possesses a rough, honest texture, resisting easy cultivation but rewarding those who move across it with a steady, deliberate pace. History at The Ridge is measured not in grand monuments, but in the enduring patterns of those who have long worked the timber and the soil. The economy has historically looked toward the surrounding woods and the deep, navigable reaches of the water, fostering a culture of self-reliance that persists in the quiet maintenance of properties and the seasonal cycles of the woods. Local life follows the slow turning of the seasons, marked by the arrival of ice on the lake or the sudden, frantic greening of the hills in spring. Even as the modern world encroaches, The Ridge retains a solitude that feels intentional, a place where the stillness is not a lack of activity but a presence in its own right.
The Ridge s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les terres hautes dominant les rives du lac Grand, là où le sol semble conserver la mémoire des anciens labours. Dans ce recoin du Nouveau-Brunswick, la lumière déclinante du soir s'attarde sur les pentes de la crête Wanamaker, teintant les bois d'une patine cuivrée qui souligne la rudesse bienveillante du terrain. À quelques kilomètres, la rivière Salmon poursuit sa course lente vers les terres basses, insufflant une fraîcheur discrète qui monte jusqu'aux vergers et aux parcelles cultivées de The Ridge. Ici, l'existence se règle sur le balancement des vents et la lenteur des travaux agricoles, perpétuant des gestes transmis par les générations qui ont défriché ces sols rocailleux. Les habitants y observent le ciel avec une attention particulière, guettant les signes de l'hiver ou la promesse d'une terre féconde, tandis que le silence, seulement troublé par le cri lointain d'un oiseau ou le bruissement des feuillages sur la crête Wanamaker, enveloppe les habitations. L'atmosphère, chargée d'une humidité douce provenant du lac Grand, confère à chaque bâtisse une allure de sentinelle solitaire, gardienne d'un héritage simple où la terre et le ciel dictent seuls la cadence de chaque journée.

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 The Ridge 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.
