This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Harbour Breton, 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 Harbour Breton.
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.

Harbour Breton is a town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Harbour Breton is located at 47.4775°N, 55.8240°W.
Harbour Breton occupies a rugged stretch of the Atlantic coast, where the earth rises sharply to meet the salt-heavy air of Newfoundland and Labrador. It lies 43.5 km north of Grand Bank, NL (from Grand Bank, NL: bearing 353°T), and is situated 15.3 km west of Coomb's Cove. The terrain finds its definition in the steep slopes of Parsons Hill, which overlooks the deep, cold waters that define the local horizon. Light at dusk clings to the rock faces, turning the grey stone into a bruised violet before the dark settles over the jagged shoreline. The Salmon River flows through the distant wilderness, a silent presence some 39 km away that acts as a reminder of the vast, untamed interior lying beyond the reach of the tide. The history of Harbour Breton is bound to the relentless movement of the sea, which has long dictated the flow of life for those who built their homes upon the rising ground. For generations, the economy has looked outward toward the cold depths, relying on the bounty of the Atlantic to sustain the households perched along the coast. Harbour Breton flourished through the hard work of those who harvested the riches of the ocean, establishing a pattern of industry that remains vital to the local character. The air here carries the faint, sharp scent of brine and drying nets, a sensory trace of the labor that persists despite the changing tides of modern commerce. Cultural life in Harbour Breton draws its strength from the resilience of a people accustomed to the isolation of the coast and the raw intensity of the seasons. Traditions are passed down in the quiet conversations held against the backdrop of the wind, reflecting a spirit that finds beauty in the starkness of the landscape. While the pace of life follows the cycles of the water rather than the clock, there is a profound depth to the local identity that honors those who have navigated these waters for centuries. The people of Harbour Breton maintain a connection to the land that is as constant as the granite of Parsons Hill, standing firm against the elements with a steady, enduring grace.

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 Harbour Breton 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.
