This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Grand Bank, Newfoundland and Labrador. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Grand Bank.
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.

Grand Bank is a town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Grand Bank is located at 47.0889°N, 55.7551°W.
Grand Bank rests along the rugged edge of the Atlantic coast, cradled within the rising elevation of the Jenkins Hill. It lies 43.5 km south of Harbour Breton, NL (from Harbour Breton, NL: bearing 173°T), and is situated 8.0 km west-south-west of Molliers. The air here holds the sharp, salt-heavy clarity of the ocean, a weight that settles upon the land as the light fades into a bruised purple at the end of the day. To the north, the Salmonier River traverses the terrain roughly 11 km from the settlement, while the calm surface of the Outside Reservoir sits 6 km away, mirroring the vast, shifting skies of the island. The earth feels ancient and firm underfoot, defined by the persistence of stone and the relentless influence of the tides that shape the horizon. Throughout its history, Grand Bank thrived as a vital node for the Atlantic fishery, where the cold, nutrient-rich currents dictated the prosperity of generations. Men and women once relied upon the bounty of the deep, their lives turning on the seasonal arrival of cod and the subsequent labor of processing and trade. While the modern economy has diversified, the spirit of the industry lingers in the architecture and the sturdy, pragmatic layout of the buildings. The proximity to the Fortune Head Ecological Reserve, located 8 km away, preserves a geological record of immense scale, grounding the local identity in the deep, silent history of the earth itself. Life in Grand Bank maintains a quiet intensity, where the turning of the seasons is marked by the changing temper of the wind and the migration of birds across the bay. The people carry a stoic grace, valuing the traditions of the sea and the companionship found in small, shared spaces. Cultural life reflects a blend of maritime endurance and a creative spirit that finds expression in local music and storytelling, often echoing the isolation and beauty of the coastal environment. Though it remains a quiet harbor, Grand Bank serves as a waypoint for those who appreciate a life lived in proximity to the raw, unadorned power of the North Atlantic.

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 Grand Bank 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.
