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

Rioux is a locality in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rioux is located at 48.2067°N, 54.0431°W.
Rioux occupies a quiet reach of the Atlantic coast, perched firmly within the rugged contours of the Shoal Harbour Ridge. It lies 2.3 km north-north-east of Clarenville, NL (from Clarenville, NL: bearing 24°T), and is situated 7.1 km west-south-west of George's Brook. The terrain here is defined by the steady, dark flow of the Shoal Harbour River, which carves its way toward the salt water, carrying the scent of damp earth and coniferous needles. At dusk, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet, catching the surface of the river and illuminating the way the ridge rises sharply to meet the sky. Four kilometers inland, the stillness of Hen Lake provides a stark contrast to the restless motion of the coast, reflecting the clouds in its glassy, undisturbed depths. Life in Rioux follows the cycles of the seasons, shaped by the proximity to the coast and the inland wilderness. While Terra Nova National Park of Canada lies thirty-seven kilometers away, the local character remains defined by the immediate, practical relationship between the residents and the Shoal Harbour River. The economy has long been influenced by the natural resources of the region, where the cold, bracing air suggests a persistence found only in such northern latitudes. Even on the quietest days, the presence of the water and the sheer, stony face of the ridge remind those in Rioux that the landscape dictates the pace of their survival and the solitude of their days.

Detailed location data for Rioux includes the postal code (A5A), 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 Rioux 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.
