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 Black Point.
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.

Black Point is a community in Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Black Point is located at 45.6664°N, 62.5625°W.
Black Point stands as a quiet sentinel where the rugged earth meets the restless Atlantic. It lies 10.7 km north-east of New Glasgow, NS (from New Glasgow, NS: bearing 37°T), and is situated 9.0 km east of Pictou Landing. The salt-heavy air clings to the skin, cooling as the light fades into a bruised violet over the shoreline. Near the Scotch Hill, the land rises in modest, firm swells, framing a landscape that feels both ancient and exposed. Chance Harbour Lake sits tucked away in the interior, a hidden basin of stillness four kilometers from the coast, while the East River of Pictou winds its way through the broader region nine kilometers inland. The terrain here is defined by the sharp, bracing character of the coast, where the horizon remains a constant, uncluttered line. Life at Black Point turns on the pulse of the tides and the seasonal shifts of the Atlantic, maintaining a character shaped by the sea and the surrounding stone. Proximity to the coast defines the local experience, with Powells Point Provincial Park offering a brief, accessible stretch of the shoreline just two kilometers away. While Parks Falls rests thirteen kilometers distant, the influence of moving water is never far from the local consciousness. Economic life has long mirrored the traditions of the Pictou region, prioritizing a patient, maritime endurance that favors the steady labor of the docks and the seasonal rhythms of the shore. The people here carry themselves with the deliberate grace of those who have learned to read the weather in the clouds, finding beauty in the stark, unadorned edges of a province that offers no apologies for its wildness.

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.
