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 Glovertown.
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.

Glovertown is a town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Glovertown is located at 48.6911°N, 54.0353°W.
Glovertown rests where the land meets the salt-heavy breath of the Atlantic coast, nestled within the rising contours of Pine Tree Hill. It lies 17.5 km south-east of Gambo, NL (from Gambo, NL: bearing 132°T), and is situated 3.1 km north-west of Glovertown South. The Terra Nova River winds through the lower reaches, its currents carrying the cold, clear memory of the interior toward the waiting sea. Glovertown occupies a terrain where the earth feels firm and ancient, marked by the steady, persistent climb of the hills that shelter the dwellings from the harshest winds. As the light softens at dusk, the water takes on a bruised, metallic sheen, reflecting the rugged slopes of Pine Tree Hill while the air grows crisp with the scent of damp moss and evergreen. Travelers seeking the broader expanse of the wilderness find that Terra Nova National Park of Canada lies about 20 km away, acting as a green sentinel on the horizon. Within a closer reach, the cascading presence of Grant Falls waits about 12 km away, offering a constant, low-frequency pulse of moving water that defines the surrounding wild. Settlement in Glovertown grew from the necessity of harvesting the bounty of the woods and the nearby coastal waters, establishing a livelihood that relies on the resilience of the local landscape. The economy has long been tied to the rhythm of the seasons, shifting from the industry of the timber mills to the modern demands of service and supply for the regional corridor. Men and women here understand the weight of a haul and the quiet tenacity required to sustain a home in a climate that demands respect. The daily life of Glovertown carries the gravity of hard work, where the clatter of machinery or the hum of a passing truck serves as a reminder of the industry that keeps the hearths burning. Through the decades, the people have developed a capacity for endurance, finding value in the steady, predictable cycles of trade and labor that underpin their survival. The cultural character of Glovertown reflects a stoic, salt-weathered warmth, where the bonds between neighbors are forged in the shared experience of surviving the long, quiet winters. Traditions here are often found in the simple acts of gathering, whether at the local wharves or in the halls where stories are exchanged over warm tea and the smell of woodsmoke. While the region is shaped by its proximity to the vast, protected expanses of Terra Nova National Park of Canada, the people maintain a distinct identity that belongs strictly to the riverbank and the hill. There is a particular beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the Terra Nova River, obscuring the shoreline until the sun burns it away to reveal the stark, honest lines of the docks. Glovertown does not boast of grand monuments, preferring instead the quiet dignity of a well-tended garden or the sight of a boat returning to harbor, its bow cutting through the grey, rolling Atlantic swells.

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 Glovertown 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.
