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 Jackson's Arm.
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.

Jackson's Arm is a town in Humber Valley, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a town. Jackson's Arm is located at 49.8652°N, 56.8048°W.
Jackson's Arm rests along the rugged Atlantic coast, where the horizon dissolves into the grey, shifting salt water of the northern reaches. It lies 44.0 km west of Baie Verte, NL (from Baie Verte, NL: bearing 264°T), and is situated 27.3 km north of Hannah Cove. The land rises sharply from the shore toward the imposing presence of Batteau Hill, which stands as a silent sentinel over the sheltered inlet. During the long hours of dusk, the light here thins to a pale, bruised violet, catching the jagged edges of the shoreline and casting long, cold shadows across the stone. Even when the wind settles, the air retains a sharp, metallic clarity that tastes of brine and deep, ancient currents. Inland, the landscape is defined by its resilience, with the Main River carving its path through the dense, resilient wilderness some 13 km away, feeding the wild silence that defines the interior reaches. The history of Jackson's Arm is anchored in the hard-won survival of those who looked to the sea for their living, maintaining a connection to the water that persists in the quiet maintenance of boats and gear. Local life follows the seasonal shifts of the Atlantic, with the economy historically shaped by the harvest of the sea and the raw resources of the surrounding timber. The pace of daily existence is measured by the coming and going of the tide, a steady movement that demands a particular kind of patience from those who dwell here. Generations have adjusted to the isolation, finding a distinct beauty in the stark, unadorned architecture that faces the waves. In the stillness of a winter morning, when the frost clings to the rigging, Jackson's Arm reveals a quiet endurance that exists entirely on its own terms.

Detailed location data for Jackson's Arm includes the postal code (A0J), telephone area code (709, 879). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Canadian city or town.
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 Jackson's Arm 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.
