This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Netla, Northwest Territories. 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 Netla.
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.

Netla is a locality in Northwest Territories, Canada. It is classified as a town. Netla is located at 60.9446°N, 123.2730°W.
Netla rests where the quiet, deliberate waters of the Netla River surrender their momentum to the broader, muscular currents of the Liard River. It lies 11.7 km south-south-east of Nahanni Butte, NT (from Nahanni Butte, NT: bearing 150°T), and is situated 79.2 km north of Fort Liard. The air here holds a crisp, singular clarity, particularly as the low northern sun catches the silt-heavy surface of the Liard River, turning the moving water into a ribbon of hammered bronze. The land surrounding Netla stretches out in a stillness that feels ancient, marked by the persistent, soft encroachment of the boreal forest against the riverbanks. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain maintains a rugged, unyielding composure, standing in quiet anticipation of the changing seasons that dictate the temperament of the northern landscape. The history of Netla lingers in the spaces between the trees and the deep, rhythmic churning of the waterways that have long served as the primary conduits for travel and trade. While Parc territorial Blackstone sits at a distance, its presence underscores the vast, protected character of the region, where the influence of Indigenous heritage remains a fundamental element of the local identity. Life in Netla follows the demands of a remote setting, where the economy aligns with the natural cycles of the land rather than the frantic pace of distant urban centers. Here, the dusk does not merely fade but deepens into a profound, velvet silence, allowing the observer to hear the distinct, hollow slap of the current against the shore, a sound that has defined the character of Netla for as long as the water has flowed.

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 Netla 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.
