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 Whitehead.
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.

Whitehead is a locality in Kings, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Whitehead is located at 45.3955°N, 66.0683°W.
Whitehead rests quietly upon the Atlantic coast, where the land meets the salt-heavy air near the rising prominence of Spy Glass Hill. It lies 15.3 km north of Saint John, NB (from Saint John, NB: bearing 351°T), and is situated 10.0 km south-south-east of Browns Flat. The terrain here holds a stark, singular beauty, especially at dusk when the grey light clings to the rocky shore and turns the nearby Whites Lake into a sliver of polished slate. Whitehead sits within a landscape defined by these coastal reaches, situated only 8 km from the steady, deep-moving flow of the Saint John River. While Silver Falls sits 12 km away and Parc provincial des chutes Lepreau lies 40 km distant, the immediate surroundings remain defined by the stillness of the woods and the proximity of the tides. History in Whitehead lingers in the way the wind moves across the uneven ground, marking a long tradition of coastal livelihood that has persisted through generations of maritime change. The local economy finds its footing in the small-scale industries that have long utilized the natural resources of the Atlantic edge, favoring a deliberate, quiet pace of life over the noise of modern expansion. Residents often look toward the distant horizon, their days shaped by the seasonal shifts in the water and the persistent, bracing chill that rolls in from the sea. Whether tending to the land or observing the currents, those who call Whitehead home maintain a deep familiarity with the rugged character of this specific corner of the coast.
Whitehead s’éveille sous une lumière atlantique qui délaie les contours de la terre ferme, là où le sol s’incline doucement vers la mer. À proximité de la colline Spy Glass, le relief dessine une architecture de roches et de mousses que la brume marine caresse avec une insistance silencieuse. La vie à Whitehead se rythme par le souffle des vents salins qui balaient les terres, tandis que le lac Whites, situé à peine à deux kilomètres, offre une étendue d’eau paisible, presque immobile, en contraste avec l’agitation invisible des marées côtières. À huit kilomètres de là, la rivière Saint John poursuit son cours imposant, irriguant les mémoires d’un pays marqué par les labeurs agricoles et la patience des saisons passées. Les habitants, héritiers de gestes anciens, cultivent une existence sobre, tournée vers les ressources qu’offre ce terrain accidenté. Plus loin, à douze kilomètres, les chutes Silver ajoutent une note cristalline aux murmures du sous-bois, rappelant la force tranquille de la nature qui entoure ces foyers. À quarante kilomètres, le Parc provincial des chutes Lepreau marque la limite d'un horizon sauvage, préservant la vigueur de la forêt. Whitehead demeure ainsi ce promontoire singulier, une présence solide et immuable entre l’eau douce des terres intérieures et l’immensité salée de l’Atlantique.

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 Whitehead 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.
