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 Hughes Brook.
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.

Hughes Brook is a town in Bay of Islands, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Hughes Brook is located at 48.9997°N, 57.8794°W.
Hughes Brook finds its stillness along the Atlantic coast, where the cold salt air curls against the rugged terrain of the Humber River. It lies 9.3 km north-east of Corner Brook, NL (from Corner Brook, NL: bearing 46°T), and is situated 6.6 km north-west of Russell. The light at dusk here possesses a peculiar, metallic clarity, catching the edges of the water and illuminating the dark, steep slopes that rise sharply from the shoreline. Only three kilometers away, the quiet basin of Fox Bow Lake holds the reflection of the sky, while the nearby silhouette of The Old Man watches over the mouth of the waterway with a stoic, geological permanence. The history of Hughes Brook anchors itself in the maritime movements of the Humber River, where the flow of water once dictated the movement of goods and the livelihoods of those who settled the banks. Life in Hughes Brook persists in a balance between the influence of the tides and the shelter provided by the surrounding hills, reflecting a culture shaped by the necessities of a coastal existence. Residents continue to look toward the river and the sea, maintaining a connection to the landscape that predates modern infrastructure, while the daily pace remains defined by the shifting weight of the Atlantic winds and the seasonal cycles of the coast.

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 Hughes Brook 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.
