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 West Branch.
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.

West Branch is a locality in Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. West Branch is located at 46.5441°N, 64.9503°W.
West Branch sits nestled within the quiet contours of the land near the Galloway Hill, where the earth rises in soft swells against the horizon. It lies 15.5 km south-south-west of Beaurivage, NB (from Beaurivage, NB: bearing 204°T), and is situated 5.3 km south-south-east of Big Cove. The terrain here holds a stillness that defines the days, marked by the presence of the St. Nicholas River winding through the lowlands some 6 km away. As the light shifts toward evening, the air cools and settles over the woods, carrying a clarity that makes the distant shadows of the trees appear sharper against the darkening sky. Further afield, the landscape opens toward the broader region, where Geddes Lake sits 12 km distant and the protected expanse of Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac lies 35 km away. West Branch retains the character of a settlement built upon the steady labor of the woods and the soil, where the lives of the people have long aligned with the changing seasons. The local economy finds its roots in the traditional work of the forest and the land, maintaining a focus that prizes endurance and careful stewardship of the timber and fields. Even today, the spirit of West Branch reflects a history of persistence, where the work of the day is guided by the light of the sun and the practical needs of the homestead. The community moves with a focus on simplicity, valuing the quiet continuity that links the past to the present in a way that feels both necessary and complete.
West Branch déploie sa silhouette discrète sur les terres fertiles du Nouveau-Brunswick, où la lumière du soir s'étire sur les reliefs modestes dominés par la colline Galloway. Dans ce secteur de la région de Kent, le terrain exhale une odeur de terre humide et de bois résineux, rappelant les efforts des pionniers qui ont défriché ces étendues pour y établir une agriculture de subsistance. La topographie impose son rythme aux habitants, entre les ondulations du sol et le silence des forêts environnantes. À six kilomètres, la rivière St. Nicholas serpente avec une lenteur solennelle, tandis que le lac Geddes, distant de douze kilomètres, offre un miroir immobile aux cieux changeants. Vers le nord-est, le Parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac protège une nature sauvage qui semble veiller sur la quiétude de West Branch. Les traditions locales, nourries par un héritage acadien tenace, se manifestent encore dans la manière dont les familles entretiennent leurs parcelles et observent le passage des jours. Ici, l'air porte une fraîcheur particulière, celle des espaces ouverts où chaque habitant connaît la texture du sol sous ses pieds, une réalité physique qui définit le quotidien bien plus sûrement que les grands événements de l'histoire.
