Explore The Dock, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, with this interactive street and satellite map. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above the map to switch views. You can “grab” the map and drag it to re-centre it, or use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours — plus shaded relief, a labelled UTM grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for The Dock, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Newfoundland and Labrador or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of The Dock and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 The Dock.
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.

The Dock is a settlement in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. The Dock is located at 47.5731°N, 53.2531°W.
The Dock rests upon the rugged Atlantic coast, where the firm earth of Corbetts Hill meets the salt-rimmed edge of the North River. It lies 3.2 km east-south-east of Bay Roberts, NL (from Bay Roberts, NL: bearing 110°T), and is situated 5.3 km north-north-west of Brigus. The land here holds a stark, singular beauty, particularly when the low light of dusk catches the dark, mossy crags of the hills and turns the surface of the North River into a sheet of hammered pewter. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the landscape opens toward the interior, where Bannerman Lake sits nestled in the quiet distance. The air carries a constant, bracing sharpness, a reminder of the proximity to the sea that defines the very shape of the horizon. Travelers seeking the broader expanse of the wilderness often find their way toward Butter Pot Provincial Park, which lies further inland, yet the gravity of the coast always pulls the focus back to the water’s edge. Life at The Dock maintains a quiet persistence, anchored by the cycles of the tides and the seasonal shifts of the Atlantic. While the economy has evolved from its early maritime foundations, the work remains tied to the sea and the practical demands of a coastal life. The character of The Dock reflects the resilience of those who look to the water for their livelihood, finding a deep sense of belonging in the salt spray and the wind-swept ridges. Traditions here are kept with a steady, unpretentious grace, mirroring the way the local terrain resists the erosion of the elements. Whether one is watching the fog roll in off the Atlantic or listening to the North River pull against its banks, there is a clear, resonant honesty to existence in this place.

Detailed location data for The Dock includes the postal code (A1Y), 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 The Dock 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.
