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 Upper Sheila.
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.

Upper Sheila is a locality in Gloucester, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Upper Sheila is located at 47.4660°N, 64.9432°W.
Upper Sheila rests where the cool breath of the Atlantic coast meets the quiet reach of the Leech River. It lies 5.7 km south-south-west of Tracadie-Sheila, NB (from Tracadie-Sheila, NB: bearing 199°T), and is situated 10.4 km north of Brantville. The land here holds the damp, salt-kissed scent of the tides, and at dusk, the light turns a bruised, pearlescent grey that seems to pool in the hollows of the earth. Near the water, the ground remains soft and yielding, marked by the persistent, rhythmic push of the river as it seeks the sea. Just two kilometers away, The Lake sits still and dark, a mirror for the low-hanging clouds that drift across the Gloucester horizon. Life in Upper Sheila follows the turn of the seasons and the demands of the currents that define this coastal stretch. Generations have kept watch over these banks, finding their livelihood in the harvest of the waters and the stubborn, resilient growth of the northern woods. The pace is set by the arrival of the morning fog and the slow, heavy movement of the tide, which dictates the daily chores and the quiet routines of the households. There is a persistent stillness in the air, a weight of history that lingers in the way the wind moves through the reeds and the tall, salt-hardened grasses. Upper Sheila persists as a place of steady observation, where the inhabitants remain mindful of the shifting moods of the Atlantic and the unchanging path of the Leech River.
Upper Sheila s'étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où le souffle salin de l'océan vient caresser les terres basses du Nouveau-Brunswick. La rivière Leech dessine une courbe tranquille à travers le relief, ses eaux sombres captant les reflets changeants d'un ciel qui semble s'élargir à mesure que le jour décline. À peine à deux kilomètres de là, le lac The repose dans une quiétude minérale, offrant un miroir immobile aux pins qui bordent ses rives. L'air y possède une densité particulière, chargée d'humidité et de senteurs marines, rappelant aux habitants le lien indéfectible qui unit Upper Sheila à son environnement côtier. Dans ce secteur de la région de Gloucester, le quotidien se règle sur le mouvement des marées et le murmure constant de la rivière Leech, héritage d'une vie façonnée par la patience des pêcheurs et des défricheurs. Le paysage, marqué par des plaines douces et des horizons ouverts, invite à une contemplation silencieuse. Ici, le caractère acadien imprègne les gestes simples de la journée, une persistance tranquille qui définit Upper Sheila comme un espace où le temps se mesure davantage à la lumière rasante des fins d'après-midi qu'à la course des aiguilles.

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.
