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 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.

Wards Creek is a locality in Kings, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Wards Creek is located at 45.6809°N, 65.5114°W.
Wards Creek carves a persistent, silver path through the Marshall Hill, finding its final purpose as it feeds into the Kennebecasis River. It lies 4.7 km south of Sussex, NB (from Sussex, NB: bearing 181°T), and is situated 7.0 km east-south-east of Apohaqui. The water moves with a gravity that seems to hold the very light of the evening, catching the amber glow of a setting sun against the dark, encroaching ridges. While the distant horizon pulls the eye toward the reach of Parc national du Canada Fundy or the quiet stillness of DeCourcey Lake, the immediate ground here holds a different weight, shaped by the slow turning of seasons and the persistence of the creek itself. Every stone in the bed of Wards Creek has been smoothed by this steady passage, creating a landscape that feels settled and ancient, indifferent to the haste of the modern world. The economy of the region has long drawn its vitality from the land, with the surrounding hillsides providing a rugged foundation for those who work the soil or tend to the timber. Life here follows the cycle of the frost and the thaw, a tradition kept by families who have watched the seasons shift across the Marshall Hill for generations. The quietude is rarely broken, save for the sound of the wind moving through the trees or the seasonal rise of the waters. In the stillness, one might find a clarity that is harder to come by elsewhere, as if the land requires nothing more than the patient attention of those who call it home.
Wards Creek s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les pentes douces de la colline Marshall, où la terre semble garder la mémoire des premiers défrichements agricoles. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule s'attarde sur les terres fertiles qui descendent vers les rives de la rivière Kennebecasis, baignant les prairies d'une teinte ambrée qui souligne la rigueur et la droiture des vieux bâtiments de ferme. À sept kilomètres, le lac DeCourcey offre une étendue d'eau dormante, miroir sombre sous le ciel changeant, tandis qu'à trente-huit kilomètres, le Parc national du Canada Fundy impose sa présence sauvage, rappelant aux habitants la force indomptable de la nature environnante. Dans Wards Creek, le quotidien se mesure au rythme des travaux de la terre et à la fraîcheur persistante d'un air qui porte en lui le souvenir des forêts anciennes. Les générations se succèdent entre ces reliefs ondulants, cultivant une indépendance farouche héritée des pionniers qui ont su lire, dans la topographie exigeante de la colline Marshall, la promesse d'une existence en harmonie avec les saisons. Le silence qui enveloppe ces vallons, rompu seulement par le murmure de la rivière Kennebecasis, définit l'âme de cet endroit où chaque clôture de bois et chaque sentier tracé dans l'humus disent une histoire de persévérance et d'attachement viscéral au sol.

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 Wards Creek 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.
