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 Wards Creek.
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 Wards Creek is a locality in Kings, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Upper Wards Creek is located at 45.6466°N, 65.5096°W.
Upper Wards Creek sustains a quiet presence within the rugged elevation of Vinegar Hill, where the earth rises in firm, moss-crowned ridges. It lies 8.6 km south of Sussex, NB (from Sussex, NB: bearing 180°T), and is situated 9.0 km south-east of Apohaqui. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, cooling the dense stands of timber that cling to the uneven slopes before the light fades into long, violet shadows across the forest floor. Beyond these immediate heights, the Hammond River flows through the lower reaches some 6 km distant, while the stillness of Byrnes Lake rests about 8 km away, anchoring a landscape defined by its deliberate, slow-moving geography. The history of Upper Wards Creek remains tied to the resilient work of those who cleared the timber and broke the stubborn ground of Kings to establish a life in the hills. While the industry of the region has shifted over the generations, the endurance of the local character reflects the same austerity found near Little Dam Falls, situated 17 km from these slopes. Life proceeds with a focused attention to the seasons, far removed from the distant grandeur of Parc national du Canada Fundy, which lies 37 km toward the coast. Daily existence here values the strength of the land, finding a distinct beauty in the way the frost settles on the high meadows, marking the passage of time without need for fanfare or public display.
Upper Wards Creek s'étire avec une humilité certaine au sein de la colline Vinegar, là où les reliefs s'adoucissent pour accueillir les travaux des champs et la rigueur du climat néo-brunswickois. À quelques lieues de là, la rivière Hammond poursuit son cours paisible, tandis que les eaux immobiles du lac Byrnes captent les dernières lueurs d'un ciel souvent changeant. Dans ce secteur de la région de Kings, le travail de la terre demeure une réalité quotidienne qui façonne les gestes des habitants, entretenant un lien ancien avec le sol fertile. Le paysage s'anime de nuances sourdes lorsque le crépuscule descend sur les pentes, révélant une quiétude que seul interrompt le murmure lointain des chutes Little Dam, situées à une distance respectable. Les horizons plus vastes du Parc national du Canada Fundy marquent la limite méridionale de cette étendue sauvage, rappelant aux résidents la proximité constante d'une nature indomptée. Upper Wards Creek conserve ainsi une identité simple, faite de silences et d'efforts, où le passage des jours se mesure à la transformation lente du couvert forestier et à la persistance d'un mode de vie rural, loin des agitations urbaines, dans une solitude préservée par le relief.

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.
