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 Welsford.
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.

Welsford is a rural village in Queens, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a town. Welsford is located at 45.4560°N, 66.3417°W.
Welsford rests within a quiet fold of the province, defined by the steady presence of the Nerepis River and the looming silhouette of the Mary Ann Daly Hill. It lies 29.3 km north of Fundy Shores, NB (from Fundy Shores, NB: bearing 359°T), and is situated 8.6 km west-north-west of Cheyne Settlement. The cool, damp breath of the river defines the mornings here, often clinging to the low-lying terrain long after the sun has crested the surrounding ridges. Just a short distance away, the dark, still waters of Mud Lake offer a contrast to the moving current, reflecting the changing canopy of the trees that crowd its edges. The air holds a particular clarity that sharpens the edges of the landscape, making the transition from the base of the hill to the riverbank feel deliberate and ancient. While the broader region contains distant sites like Parc provincial des chutes Lepreau, the immediate geography of Welsford remains focused on the intimacy of its own valley floor and the quiet persistence of its natural landmarks. Life in Welsford has long mirrored the seasonal shifts of the land, with a history rooted in the practical demands of forestry and the movement of goods through the river valley. The local economy persists through a blend of small-scale enterprise and the industrious character of those who choose to settle near the Nerepis River. Even as modern transit routes have altered how people move through the valley, the rhythm of daily life retains a focus on the immediate surroundings, where the work of the day is often punctuated by the changing light against the slopes of the Mary Ann Daly Hill. Residents carry on with a steady, pragmatic grace, finding value in the proximity of the water and the enduring, rugged terrain that keeps Welsford centered amidst the vastness of the province.
Welsford s'étire avec une simplicité grave le long des méandres de la rivière Nerepis, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous l'ombre protectrice de la colline Mary Ann Daly. Dans ce coin de pays où l'air porte souvent une fraîcheur humide, le silence se fragmente parfois sous le passage discret des habitations qui ponctuent les terres agricoles. À seulement deux kilomètres, les eaux sombres du lac Mud dorment en retrait des axes de circulation, offrant un repos immobile à la faune locale. Si les voyageurs pressés filent vers le lointain, notamment vers le Parc provincial des chutes Lepreau, Welsford demeure fidèle à son rythme propre, celui des journées qui s'étirent entre les pentes boisées et les plaines fertiles. Les anciens disent que le sol ici garde la mémoire des labeurs d'autrefois, quand la forêt et l'eau dictaient seules les limites du possible. Aujourd'hui, Welsford observe le crépuscule envelopper la vallée d'une lumière dorée, presque tangible, qui souligne la rigueur des reliefs et la persistance d'un mode de vie lié intimement à la géographie du lieu. La vie quotidienne, ici, se mesure à la patience du courant et à la solidité des roches, loin des agitations du monde, dans une quiétude qui appartient aux terres qui ont su préserver leur nature sauvage.

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.
