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 St. Alban's.
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.

St. Alban's is a town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a large city. St. Alban's is located at 47.8772°N, 55.8493°W.
St. Alban's rests upon the rugged Atlantic coast, where the weight of the sea meets the stubborn resilience of the Newfoundland landscape. It lies 44.5 km north of Harbour Breton, NL (from Harbour Breton, NL: bearing 358°T), and is situated 7.4 km west-south-west of Milltown. The terrain surrounding St. Alban's rises toward the slopes of the Line Hill, catching the low, pale light of the north that turns the rocks to shades of bruised plum and iron at the end of the day. Within this quiet expanse, the Salmon River carves its path through the earth about 9 km away, its movement providing a steady, cold pulse to the land. The atmosphere here holds a particular clarity, a crispness that sharpens the edges of the horizon and reminds those who walk these paths that the ocean is the true architect of the local horizon. The economy of St. Alban's grew from the necessity of the harvest, drawing strength from the proximity of the water and the traditional industries that define the region. Men and women have long looked to the sea and the surrounding wilderness to sustain their livelihoods, balancing the demands of modern labor with the older, slower requirements of the coast. Work here follows the turning of the seasons, an honest exchange between the people and the resources available to them. While the industries have evolved to meet contemporary needs, the fundamental character of St. Alban's persists in the diligence of those who navigate the local waters and the terrain near The Southeast, which lies about 9 km away, maintaining a steady persistence against the changing tides of the world. Cultural life in St. Alban's reflects a heritage that values endurance and the quiet bonds of a small, coastal population. Residents often travel to Jipujijkuei Kuespem (Little River Pond) Provincial Park, located about 19 km away, to find a stillness that mirrors the vast, open spaces of the province. The local spirit is marked by a certain reticence, a preference for actions over words, and an appreciation for the subtle shifts in the weather that dictate the movement of the day. There is a distinct beauty in the way the wind carries the scent of salt and pine through the streets, anchoring the people to their home with a grip that is firm but never unkind. Life here unfolds with a deliberate focus, prioritizing the integrity of the individual and the collective strength of neighbors who share the same horizon.

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 St. Alban's 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.
