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 Thornetown.
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.

Thornetown is a locality in Queens, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Thornetown is located at 45.8612°N, 65.8535°W.
Thornetown rests upon the quiet, rolling terrain of Queens, defined by the steady presence of the nearby Den Hill. It lies 8.8 km east-north-east of Arcadia, NB (from Arcadia, NB: bearing 65°T), and is situated 10.2 km east-north-east of Cambridge-Narrows. The Canaan River traces a path through the lowlands about 8 km away, while the expansive waters of Washademoak Lake sit approximately 11 km from the heart of the settlement. During the autumn months, the light here turns a bruised, heavy gold, catching the edges of the hardwoods and settling deep into the damp earth. Thornetown holds a stillness that seems to gather in the hollows, where the air tastes of cooling pine and the slow, persistent moisture of the interior woods. The history of Thornetown reflects the enduring labor of those who first cleared these patches of stubborn, rocky soil to carve out a living from the timber and the turning seasons. Agriculture has long defined the local economy, with small-scale holdings and woodlots forming the backbone of life, where the work is measured by the length of the day rather than the ticking of a clock. Residents maintain a private, modest existence, often gathering where the local roads meet to trade news while the wind shifts across the landscape. The quietude of the surroundings invites a particular kind of attention, where the simple act of watching the evening shadows lengthen against the slopes of the Den Hill becomes the primary event of the day.
Thornetown repose avec une humilité certaine sur le relief accidenté du comté de Queens, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous la lumière oblique du couchant. À proximité immédiate, la colline Den dresse son profil serein, veillant sur les terres agricoles qui, depuis les premiers défrichements, ont dicté le rythme lent des journées. L’air y possède une fraîcheur singulière, chargée des effluves humides provenant de la rivière Canaan qui serpente à huit kilomètres de là, comme un ruban sombre glissant entre les boisés. Plus loin, le lac Washademoak étend sa vaste surface tranquille à onze kilomètres de distance, influençant la douceur climatique de ce secteur où la nature impose sa cadence aux activités humaines. Thornetown conserve cette identité de terre de labeur, façonnée par des générations ayant su lire les signaux du sol et des vents dominants. Les habitations, dispersées selon les anciens tracés, se fondent dans une topographie où chaque dénivelé raconte une patience héritée. Ici, le silence n'est jamais vide, il est habité par le bruissement des feuilles et la présence constante des eaux environnantes qui, par leur proximité, modulent l'horizon et imprègnent chaque geste quotidien d'une sagesse toute rurale.

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 Thornetown 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.
