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 White Rapids.
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.

White Rapids is a locality in Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. White Rapids is located at 46.7957°N, 65.7826°W.
White Rapids settles into a basin of ancient, quiet earth, anchored by the persistent, cold pulse of the Southwest Miramichi River. It lies 8.8 km north-north-east of Miramichi River Valley, NB (from Miramichi River Valley, NB: bearing 27°T), and is situated 8.1 km north-north-east of Blackville. The river bends with a muscular grace, its current churning against hidden stones to create the namesake turbulence that defines the character of White Rapids. Beyond the banks, the land rises toward the shoulder of Campbelltown Hill, where the spruce and fir hold the morning mist in a heavy, emerald suspension. Three kilometers to the west, the stillness of Smiths Lake offers a counterpoint to the restless river, its surface acting as a dark mirror for the passing clouds. In the late afternoon, the light here thins into a pale, bruised gold, sharpening the silhouettes of the trees against a sky that feels remarkably vast for such a sheltered valley. The life of White Rapids has long been dictated by the seasonal temper of the water, which once dictated the movement of timber and the arrival of the spring run. Families who settled along these slopes became attuned to the shifts in the current, maintaining a connection to the land that is as pragmatic as it is profound. Today, the economy leans into the quietude of the region, favoring small-scale forestry and the watchful stewardship of the surrounding woods. There is a perceptible dignity in the routine here, where the sound of the Southwest Miramichi River serves as a constant, low-frequency companion to the daily tasks of its residents. Even as the decades turn, White Rapids keeps its own counsel, remaining a place defined more by the weight of the water and the slope of the hill than by the noise of the outside world.
White Rapids s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives de la rivière Southwest Miramichi, là où le courant semble retenir son souffle avant de poursuivre sa course vers l'est. Dominant les habitations éparses, la colline Campbelltown oppose son flanc boisé aux vents qui descendent du nord, protégeant ainsi les terres labourées et les jardins où s'activent encore, par habitude, les héritiers d'une lignée tenace. À peine distants de trois kilomètres, le lac Smiths offre une nappe d'eau immobile, miroir sombre où se découpent les silhouettes des conifères lors des soirées d'automne. White Rapids vit au rythme lent de cette géographie riveraine, façonnée par les crues printanières qui déposent sur le sol une richesse invisible, nourrissant le caractère de ceux qui ont choisi de rester. L'air y possède cette densité particulière des vallées humides, chargée d'une odeur de terre fraîche et de bois tourbé. Sous la lumière déclinante, le relief s'adoucit, les ombres grimpent le long des pentes de la colline Campbelltown, et la quiétude des rives de la rivière Southwest Miramichi enveloppe chaque foyer, préservant une existence qui refuse de se laisser effacer par la fuite des jours.

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 White Rapids 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.
