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 Bay Roberts.
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.

Bay Roberts is a town in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Bay Roberts is located at 47.5827°N, 53.2933°W.
Bay Roberts rests against the rugged Atlantic coast, cradled by the steady elevation of the Cat Hills. It lies 17.2 km south-south-west of Carbonear, NL (from Carbonear, NL: bearing 195°T), and is situated 8.1 km north-west of Brigus. The North River cuts a deliberate path toward the salt water, its movement mirroring the quiet persistence of the tides that shape the shoreline. Here, the air carries a sharp, oceanic clarity, often cooling the brow with a mist that clings to the cliffs long after the sun has climbed high above the horizon. The landscape holds a stoic beauty, defined by the interplay of stone and spray where the land refuses to yield its edges to the sea. Historically, Bay Roberts served as a vital maritime outpost, drawing its strength from the bounty of the cold northern waters. The local economy shifted from early reliance on the seasonal harvest of the sea to a broader base of commerce and service, reflecting the ingenuity of people who learned to thrive on a rocky fringe. While the bustle of international trade once defined the harbor, the current industry finds its footing in retail and small-scale enterprise, grounding the daily life of the residents in practical, hard-won stability. The docks still hold the faint, brine-soaked memory of past voyages, a reminder of the generations who looked toward the horizon as their primary source of sustenance. Cultural life in Bay Roberts unfolds with a grounded sincerity, marked by the traditions of a people deeply familiar with the turn of the seasons. Residents often find respite in the nearby expanses, such as the quiet reaches of Bannerman Lake or the preserved wilderness found within Butter Pot Provincial Park, where the forest offers a dense, green contrast to the open coast. The social character remains defined by a neighborly vigilance, a quality born from long winters and the shared necessity of looking out for one another. Whether through local gatherings or the quiet maintenance of family homes, the people of Bay Roberts carry a distinct sense of belonging, anchored to a geography that demands both respect and resilience.
